    • Assist in transferring the patient from the procedure table to recovery, ensuring comfort and safety during transport.
    • Help with patient recovery by monitoring cardiac rhythm, vital signs, and the insertion site for any signs of complications, particularly bleeding or hematoma formation.
    • Provide post-procedure instructions to patients and their families, including advice on post-operative care, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.
  • Equipment Management and Maintenance:
    • Maintain, clean, and sterilize the cath lab equipment and instruments, ensuring they are functioning properly and ready for the next procedure.
    • Regularly check and troubleshoot cath lab machinery, including X-ray equipment, electrocardiograms (EKG), defibrillators, and patient monitors.
    • Order necessary supplies, manage inventory, and ensure all materials needed for procedures are available and in good condition.
    • Assist in the calibration of equipment to ensure accurate diagnostic results.
  • Patient Monitoring and Safety:
    • Continuously monitor the patient's vital signs during the procedure, ensuring optimal conditions for the intervention.
    • Ensure proper documentation of patient information, procedures, and outcomes in the electronic health record (EHR) or procedure logs.
    • Adhere to safety and infection control protocols, including the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE), sterile techniques, and radiation safety protocols to minimize exposure to patients and staff.
    • Monitor the catheter insertion site for signs of complications such as infection or clot formation.
  • Collaboration with Medical Team:
    • Work closely with cardiologists, radiologists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to provide high-quality care for patients undergoing catheterization or other cardiac procedures.
    • Attend pre-procedure meetings to review patient conditions and provide input on the appropriate procedure.
    • Assist in evaluating the results of diagnostic tests, including angiograms, to support the development of treatment plans.
  • Education and Training:
    • Stay up to date with the latest advancements in cardiac catheterization techniques, equipment, and best practices.
    • Participate in ongoing education, certification programs, and training in areas such as radiation safety, advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS), and other relevant certifications.
    • Educate patients about their condition, the procedure they are undergoing, and the importance of follow-up care.
    • Assist in training and mentoring new staff or students in the cath lab environment.
  • Quality Control and Compliance:
    • Adhere to all regulatory guidelines, including HIPAA for patient privacy, OSHA safety standards, and Joint Commission requirements.
    • Ensure that all procedures and documentation meet hospital policies, accreditation standards, and industry regulations.
