How do you stay alert and accurate on overnight shifts?

A patient has a contrast reaction at 3 a.m. What do you do in the first minute?
What they are checking: Recognizing a reaction fast and starting the emergency response when help is not right next door.
What do you do if the scanner goes down in the middle of the night?

About the work
Walk me through your contrast screening for an ED patient who can't give you a history.
What they are checking: Safe decision-making on contrast when information is missing, using the chart, labs and the ordering provider.
What steps do you take to keep radiation dose as low as reasonable on a CT exam?
What they are checking: Real use of dose reduction tools and weight-based protocols rather than one setting for everyone.
How do you move an unstable patient onto the CT table safely?
