Core Clinical Responsibilities

- Patient Preparation & Safety
- Explaining procedures to patients and families to reduce anxiety and ensure cooperation.
- Taking relevant medical histories, especially documentation regarding active neurological medications or recent seizures.
- Measuring and marking the patients head using the international 10-20 system to ensure accurate electrode placement.
- Applying electrodes safely to the scalp or skin using specialized conductive paste or gels.

- Diagnostic Testing Operations
- Electroencephalograms (EEG): Conducting routine, sleep-deprived, or extended 24-hour ambulatory EEGs to record brain wave activity.
- Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS): Administering mild electrical stimuli to peripheral nerves to measure the speed and strength of nerve signals.
- Electromyography (EMG) Assistance: Setting up the machine, preparing the patient, and assisting the neurologist during needle EMG insertions.
- Evoked Potentials (EP/VEP/BAER): Measuring the nervous system's response to sensory stimuli like light flashes (Visual)



or clicking sounds (Auditory).
- Polysomnography (Sleep Studies): Monitoring and recording physiological data during sleep to identify sleep apnea or movement disorders.
- Data Management & Quality Control
- Monitoring data feeds in real-time, identifying and eliminating electrical or movement artifacts (interference).
- Recognizing medical emergencies, such as an active grand mal seizure during an EEG, and initiating immediate safety protocols.
- Writing technical summaries of the findings, highlighting abnormal waveforms or delayed conduction speeds for the reading physician.
- Equipment & Administrative Duties
- Sterilizing and maintaining sensitive electrodes, needles, and computerized neuro-diagnostic machinery.
- Calibrizing equipment daily to ensure strict adherence to quality assurance standards.
- Archiving digital records securely within the hospital's electronic health record (EHR) system.
