The medical radiation technologist model: a streamlined process for procedural sedations.
Objective: Procedural sedations are a growing and routine form of sedation. Some of them may not require the presence of a nurse. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the Medical Radiation Technologists (MRT) model, which forgo the presence of a Registered Nurse (RN), for procedural sedations in Computed Tomography biopsies. The setting was a teaching hospital that moved from an RN to an MRT model. We compared staff utilization, turnaround times and incident reports between pre and post implementation, over 19 months overall.
Results: No adverse events were observed under either model. Wait times were reduced by 25% from 131 to 98 min. Turnaround times were reduced by 2 min from 52 to 50 min. The joint cost of RN/MRIT was reduced by 37% per procedure, from $141 to $88.
Conclusion: These results suggest that the MRT model is more cost-effective without compromising quality of care. The MRT model is promising and should be extended to more facilities and other routine procedural sedations to save time and resources.

期刊介绍：
BMC Research Notes publishes scientifically valid research outputs that cannot be considered as full research or methodology articles. We support the research community across all scientific and clinical disciplines by providing an open access forum for sharing data and useful information; this includes, but is not limited to, updates to previous work, additions to established methods, short publications, null results, research proposals and data management plans.
