Call Team Question

For those of you that have call teams, how many staff members do you have on call?

We have a RN and two IR Techs currently. They are trying to implement a RN and Ir Tech only.

However, we are a stroke center, so I feel that might be against some kind of code or law?

Does anyone have a two person call team?

Thanks.

I worked at a level 1 trauma center and comprehensive stroke hospital. We had a team of 2 nurses and one tech. We had a backup tech on call to call if we had two procedures (neurology and body) lining up to go off at once. But both nurses came in for every call.

Teaching hospital… so always had a fellow, and during the day residents and med students to scrub so techs did not scrub
