Salary: up to $4500
Working Days & Hours: Mon-Fri office hrs
Location: Kent Ridge
Job Description:
• Finger/ankle/toe-brachial pressure index studies for evaluation of peripheral arterial diseases. In relatively fit patients, exercise ankle-brachial index can be performed to determine the severity of claudication in the lower limb (pain in lower limb muscles as a result of impaired blood flow) when they are on the move.
• Arterial studies for lower and upper extremities for evaluation of peripheral arterial disease. For patients who present with intermittent claudication, ulcers/gangrene in the extremities etc.
• Carotid (neck) arteries for blockages.
• Screening and surveillance of abdominal aorta, iliac and visceral (renal, mesenteric and celiac etc) arteries for disorders like aneurysm (abnormally large arteries), dissection (tear in the wall of the artery), blockages in the arteries, follow-up for post stent insertion or bypass surgery.
• Pre-operative scan for arterio-venous fistula creation (for dialysis) to determine the patency and lumen diameters of blood vessels in the upper or lower limbs.
• Surveillance study of arterio-venous fistula or graft when difficulties are encountered during dialysis eg. Increase arterial or venous pressures, difficulties in needling etc.
• Venous studies of the upper and lower limbs for deep vein thrombosis (blood clot).
• Varicose veins/venous reflux studies for chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, spider veins etc.
• Pre-cardiac or vascular surgery screening/assessment to determine lumen diameters of conduits for harvest. They include great saphenous veins, radial arteries and internal mammary arteries.
• Specialised vascular studies for compression syndrome like thoracic outlet syndrome for the upper limb, May-Thurner syndrome (compression of left iliac vein), nutcracker syndrome (compression of left renal vein), median arcuate ligament syndrome (compression of celiac artery) etc.
• Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TCPO2) studies to detect viable tissue in the extremities to determine healing of wound or determine optimum amputation level.
• Intra-operative scanning of vessels for difficult cases.
Job Requirements: Min Degree in Biomedical Science/Chemistry/Medical Laboratory Science or similar
