CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION

1.1 OVERVIEW OF SIWES

SIWES is an acronym for the Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme. The industrial
training office was established in the year 1971 and has. Its legal backing of Decree No 37 of 1973
constitutions. The body was charge with the responsibility of ensuring adequately trained man-
power to run the nation’s industrials sector. Industrial training attachment is a program of induction
for student of higher institute of learning in a particular field. The scheme allows participating
student to have opportunity to experience and practice what they have been taught over the years.
Thereby, brings about more knowledge to what they have been taught in their various course of
study.

The SIWES program has been set up and made compulsory for students (especially
students understanding science-oriented studies) to participate fully so as to meet up with the
official requirement of the accreditation set by the Nigerian University Commission (NUC). The
theoretical knowledge acquired by student from their various department and faculty can be put to
practical and experimental use by modern and appropriate instruments provided by the host
company.

The student is an integral part of the successful fulfillment and completion of the B.Tech
Degree in the Department of Human Anatomy among other participating departments in Ladoke
Akintola University of Technology, (LAUTECH), Ogbomosho.

The program is jointly managed by the ITF representing the Federal Government and the
participating higher institutions.
In summary, the Industrial Training period provided an ample opportunity to acquire
practical knowledge, technical know-how and skills for handling, managing and strategies of
management sciences in an organization.

1
1.2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF SIWES
1.2.1 AIMS

The aim of SIWES is to give students more practical, industrial and field knowledge of
what they've been taught in their lecture rooms. It is to enlighten or an eye opener for a student to
see or be familiar with the practical aspect of their theoretical know.

1.2.2 OBJECTIVES

1. To provide an avenue for students in the Nigerian Universities to acquire industrial skills
and experience in their course of study;
2. To prepare students for the work situation they are likely to meet after graduation;
3. To expose students to work methods and techniques in handling equipment and
machineries that may not be available in the university;
4. To make the transition from schooling to the world of work easier through enhancing
students contact for later job placement;
5. To provide students with an opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in real work
situation, thereby bridging the gap between theory and practice; and
6. Enlist and strengthen employer involvement in the entire educational process through
SIWES.

1.3 BODIES INVOLVED IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SIWES

The bodies involved are:

a) The Federal Government

b) Industrial Training Fund (ITF)

Other Supervising agents are:

 National University Commission (NUC)

 National Board for Technical Education (NBTE)
 National Council for Colleges Education (NCE)

2
 The functions of these agencies above include among others to:

● Ensure adequate funding of the scheme;

● Establish SIWES and accredit SIWES unit in the approved institutions;
● Formulate policies and guidelines for participating bodies and institutions as well as
appointing SIWES coordinators and supporting staff;
● Supervise students at their places of attachment and sign their logbook and IT forms;
● Vet and process students logbook and forward same to ITF area offices;
● Ensure payment of allowances for the students and supervisors.

Therefore the success or otherwise of the SIWES depends on the efficiency of the
Ministries, ITF, Institutions, Employers of labor and the general public involved in articulation
and management of the program. Thus, the evaluation of SIWES in tertiary institutions in meeting
up with the needs for the establishment of the program is necessary.

1.4 ROLES OF STUDENT

i. Attend SIWES orientation program before going on attachment.

ii. Comply with the establishment's rules and regulations.
iii. Arrange living accommodation during the period of attachment.
iv. Record all training activity done other assignment in the logbook.

CHAPTER TWO: ORGANIZATION'S SUB-DEPARTMENTS AND OPERATIONS

2.0 INTRODUCTION TO SIWES LOCATION

Bowen University Teaching Hospital is located at plot 4, Ilorin – Ogbomosho Road. P.O.
Box 15 Ogbomosho Oyo State Nigeria. It is a multidisciplinary facility with 50,000 outpatient
and 10,000 inpatient with family medicine residency and nursing program with other fully
accredited training programs and service standards with high quality assurance and prompt care
at affordable cost with cultured staff.

2.1 BRIEF HISTORY OF SIWES LOCATION

Bowen University Teaching hospital is a first – class Christian Teaching Hospital marked
by excellence and godliness for the training of doctors and other medical professionals.
Established March 18th, 1907 and transformed to a teaching Hospital in 2009. Over 400 bed
capacity with over 800 staff and students in a serene environment.

When London – Born Dr. George Green and his Wife Lydia arrived in Ogbomosho from
United States of America on March 18th 1907, they brought Dr. Green’s personal medical
instrument some drugs and $50. The Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention
has provided to begin medical work in Nigeria. The newly married couple settled into the house
Rev. C.E. Smith had built 25 years earlier (near the present Antioch Baptist Church). The next
day, a girl of about 4 years old was brought to him because of her crooked. Dr. Green converted
the dining room into an operating theatre and the dining table into an operating table for the
straightening of the girl’s legs. Miss Green served as the nurse and Rev. S.G Pimock
administered Chloroform as the Anesthesia. In a few weeks, the girl’s running around was a
proof of the operations success.

Through this first successful operation in the ministry of healing then known as the
Baptist Medical Centre now transformed to a Bowen University Teaching Hospital in 2009. Two
years later the Green’s moved to another House where the grand level served as the hospital
while the top floor served as their living quarters, in 1911 the departure of a missionary made a
separate house available but the expansion of the ministry necessitate the addition of thatched
sheds on either sides of the house to serve as wards for male and female patients.

CHAPTER THREE: WORK EXPERIENCE

3.0 DEFINITION OF RADIOLOGY

Radiology is the medical specialty that uses medical imaging to diagnose diseases and
guide their treatment, within the bodies of humans.

The following units are found in Radiology department:

1. The Reception
2. X-Ray Unit
3. The Ultrasound Unit

3.1 THE RECEPTION

The reception is where patients are taken and booked in. The patient is also familiarized
with the precautions and procedures of his/her examination.

3.2 THE X-RAY UNIT

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through solid objects,
including the body. X-rays penetrate different objects more or less according to their density. This
unit is involved in the use of x-ray machines to take diagnostic images of the internal part of the
body without having to make an incision. The resulting image is called a Radiograph, more
commonly known as x-ray or plain film. The Radiographers are in charge of this unit, this unit is
very sensitive due to exposure to radiation, so extreme precautionary measures are to be taken by
Radiographers.

To obtain an X-ray image of a part of the body, a patient is positioned so the part of the
body being X-rayed is between the source of the X-ray and an X-ray detector. As the X-rays pass
through the body, images appear in shades of black and white, depending on the type of tissue the
x-rays pass through.

Less dense tissue such as muscle or fat absorbs less, and these structures appear in shades
of gray on X-ray film.

8
 X-rays can help doctors diagnose things like:

 Broken bones
 Dislocated joints
 Arthritis
 Abdominal pain in some instances
 Tuberculosis

3.2.1 OPERATION

Modern x-ray equipment is automated. An x-ray technician, or other licensed

radiographer, positions the patient between the x-ray source and the radiographic plate. Then the
technician goes into a separate room and pushes a button to turn on the x-ray beam. The reason
for leaving the room while x-rays are being taken is to prevent harmful effects in the technician
that could occur after repeated x-ray exposure. The length of time that the x-ray beam remains on
and the intensity level of the beam are based on the part of the body being imaged. In the newest
equipment, these times and intensities are controlled by a computer, but may be manually
adjusted, within certain safety limits, by the x-ray technician. After exposure, the technician
removes the radiographic plate and places it in a fully automated development chamber where
the final image is produced.

The image is ultimately examined for clinical findings by a radiologist and/or by the
physician who ordered the x rays. It is the job of the x-ray technician to exam the radiograph to
ensure that a clinically useful image has been produced. When an unsuitable image is produced,
the x-ray technician will have to retake the x ray. Unsuitable images may be produced when the
patient failed to remain still during the x ray exposure, the positioning of the patient was
incorrect, there was an alignment or other problem with either the radiographic plate or the x-ray
beam, or the exposure time and/or intensity was incorrect for the part of the body being imaged.

3.2.2 PREPARATION FOR AN X-RAY EXAMINATION

1. Patients may be asked to strip down and wear a hospital gown, or at least remove
clothing on the part of the body that needs to be X-rayed.
2. There may be need to remove any metal objects such as eyeglasses, jewelry, or watches
that may interfere.
3. An X-ray technician will position the patient on an exam table and give instructions on
how the body will be positioned for the X-ray.

3.2.3 X-RAY EQUIPMENTS

Here are some of the equipment used in X-ray unit

 The x-ray machine.

 X-ray cassette.
 Films (which has different sizes e.g. 14x14, 17x14).
 Film holder/hanger.
 Anatomical marker.
 Grid.

3.2.4 ADVANTAGES OF X-RAYS

 Readily available in most hospital.

 Less expensive.
 Good in detection and diagnosis of chest and abdominal area.

3.2.5 DISADVANTAGES OF X-RAYS

 The x-ray beam can cause tissue warming which can cause mutation to the body.

3.3 THE ULTRASOUND UNIT

The ultrasound unit involves the use of noninvasive medical device called an Ultrasound
(US) Machine. Ultrasound (US) Machine is an imaging machine that uses high-frequency sound
waves to visualize tissue. The technique of diagnostic imaging performed by ultrasound units is
called Ultrasonography. This procedure is carried out by a Sonographer (a special
radiographer). The image produced is called Sonogram.
Ultrasonography imaging can be used to visualize most soft-tissue organs. Ultrasound is
now used routinely to examine the kidneys, liver for the presence of tumors or cysts. The gall
bladder can be checked for gallstones. Ultrasonography can also be used to examine blood
vessels in abdomen, extremities, or neck for evidence of swelling or blockage. They may also
assist in performing certain types of biopsy. One of the best-known diagnostic applications of
ultrasound is its use during pregnancy to monitor the development, position, sex, and number of
babies present in the mother's uterus.

Typically, on an ultrasound image fluid appears black, and tissues such as fat appear
bright or white. There have been numerous advances in ultrasound including the development of
ultrasound imaging of blood vessels (Doppler).
The Doppler Ultrasound procedure is quite similar to regular ultrasound, but unlike
regular ultrasound, it can precisely estimate the blood flow through your blood vessels by bouncing
high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) off circulating red blood cells. A Doppler ultrasound can
be used to measure how fast blood flows and to diagnose a blood clot.

3.3.2 DIFFERENT TYPES OF ULTRASOUND SCAN

1. ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND: For assessing abdominal organs (Liver. Kidneys,

pancreas, spleen, paraaortic areas and peritoneal folds) for patients with ascites, right and
left side flank pains, nephritis and hepatomegaly.
2. PELVIC ULTRASOUND: It is used to determine the shape, size, and position of organs
in the pelvis, and can detect tumors, cysts, or abscess in the pelvis, and help find the cause
of symptoms such as pelvic pain, some urinary problems or abnormal menstrual bleeding
in girls. It is also used to monitor the growth and development of a baby during pregnancy
and can help in diagnosing some problems with pregnancy.
3. OCULAR ULTRASOUND: It is used to evaluate patient with acute vision loss, ocular
trauma and other pathologies that prevent ophthalmology.
4. NECK ULTRASOUND: It is used for assessing the thyroid glands and other structures in
the neck region of patients with goiter and neck swellings.
5. OBSTETRICS ULTRASOUND: It is used to provide a variety of information about the
health of the mother, the timing and progress of the pregnancy, the health and development
of the embryo or fetus, sex of the fetus, to assess for multiple fetuses and major congenital
abnormalities at the earlier stage.
6. BREAST ULTRASOUND: It is used to diagnose breast lumps or any other abnormality
in the breast.

3.3.3 ADVANTAGES OF ULTRASOUND

 Ultrasound provides image in real time so it can be used to image movement of structures
such as heart valves and patterns of blood flow within vessel.
 Ultrasound used at diagnostic intensities does not cause tissue damage.
 It can be used to image sensitive structures such as the developing fetus.
 Patients usually find ultrasound examination easy to tolerate as it requires minimal
preparation and only light pressure on skin.

16
3.3.4 LIMITATIONS OF ULTRASOUND
 Part of the body accessible to ultrasound examination is limited.
 Ultrasound does not easily cross a tissue-gas or tissue-bone interface.
 Ultrasound can only be used for imaging tissue around such structures with any tissues
deep to gas or bone obscured.
 Ultrasound is not generally useful in the lungs and head except in neonate where the open
fontanelle provides an acoustic window.
 Ultrasound is also heavily operator dependent particularly on overcoming barriers due to
the bony skeleton and bowed gas.

3.4 DEFINITION OF EMBALMING

Embalming refers to the preservation of human remains via inhibiting decomposition with
the use of chemicals for the purpose of medical education or social reasons (e.g., funeral service).

3.4.1 EMBALMING PROCESS

The practice of embalming has been performed throughout history for various cultural
and religious purposes. As such, the techniques and materials have evolved over time, and can
vary between regions. In general, embalming begins with the deceased body placed in the supine
position (shown below) and the head is elevated. The process is performed as follows using
various tools (shown below):

17
  Step 1: Verification of Death
 Step 2: Wash and Massage the Body
 Step 3: Setting the Features
 Step 4: Injection of Embalming Fluid
 Step 5: Application of Cosmetics

3.4.2 EMBALMING CHEMICALS

Embalming chemicals are various chemicals used to preserve bodies and postpone
decomposition as well as sanitizing, disinfecting and fixing the body. A mixture of these
chemicals is known as Embalming fluid.

3.4.3 EMBALMING INSTRUMENTS

These are the various instruments used to achieve embalming and they are;

 Needle Injector: It is used for injection.

 Arterial Tubes: It is used for injection into the arteries.

18
 Embalming Tank/Keg: It contains the embalming fluid.
 Scissors: It is used for cutting surgical material.

 Embalming Hand Pump: It is used to create pressure during embalming.

 Hypovalve Trocar: It is used for injection into cavities of autopsied remains.

19
 Arterial Hemostat (lock forceps): It is used to hold the arterial tube in an artery.

 Spring Forceps: It is used for holding and grasping tissues.

 Embalming Table: The body is placed on it for embalming

20
 Bistoury Knife: A curved cutting instrument, used for opening arteries and veins and to e
xcise tissues.

 Scalpel: Small holder used for holding very sharp blade.

 Scalpel blade: Small blade used for making incisions.

 Semilunar Needle: It is used for delicate suturing.

21
  Postmortem double curved Needle: It is used to close autopsy incision as well as incision
to raise vessels for injection.

3.4.4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Do not eat or drink where embalming is carried out

2. Do not allow the embalming fluid to come in direct contact with your skin, body, mouth
or eyes and if it does accidentally, wash the affected part thoroughly with water.
3. Always wear laboratory clothing like hand glove, laboratory coat and rain boots where ne
cessary
4. Tidy up corpse with disinfectant before embalming starts.
5. Make sure appropriate instruments are used to enable easy work
6. For health reasons, embalm bodies in areas where there is ventilation.
7. Always mask sleeves during embalming
8. Wash and sterilize embalming instruments after use.
9. Wash hands very well before eating.
10. There must be periodical and regular check-up for those working in the mortuary.

22
CHAPTER FOUR: CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

4.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

4.1 CONCLUSION

The SIWES program over the years has been adding knowledge to students who are faithful
to the program of which I am now part of them. Most of the practical knowledge gotten during IT
are things that may not be acquired in the classroom. Nevertheless, students are allowed to apply
what they have learnt so far to real life issues and were able to test the effectiveness and efficacy
of the theoretical knowledge gained during the classroom lectures.

I was able to appreciate a lot of instruments which I did not know before. I was also able
to appreciate some of the structures of human body on x-ray films, ultrasound scan machine and
theatre.

4.2 CHALLENGES FACED DURING THE PERIOD OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING

 The management of the hospital restrict the I.T students from handling some machine and
having direct contact with the patients. But I was able to learn by working with the Doctors
and also interacting with them while they work on the patients
 Transportation cost TO and FRO from work place was really a challenge as I have to take
out of my feeding money to cater for it.
 Some machine at the department a sometimes faulty, this couldn’t give me access to learn
how they operate effectively.

4.3 RECOMMENDATIONS

 The program should be made compulsory for all students in tertiary institutions, rather than
restricting it to institutions of Technology.
 Educational institutions should also make it a top priority to visit their students during the
periods of their training.
 Companies should be willing to accept the SIWES Students readily as some students face
difficulties in getting placements.
