To my fellow IR nurses! I work in a 315 bed hospital with 2 well trained IR doctors. (Only 1 IR doctor scheduled per day.) Our procedures performed at present are paras, thoras, biopsies, abscess drains, joint injections, blood patches, rhizotomies, vascular studies and interventions, and soon to start tumor ablations. My question is: How many outpatient procedures do other departments of our size and ability schedule per day? At present, our inpatient volume is at low levels, but experience tells me that's partially due to the summer months. Thoughts appreciated!
