Hello! I am a Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Nurse. Please allow me to share my experience and nursing approach in handling my patients in this special department in the hospital where minimally invasive cardiac procedures are performed such as angiogram, angioplasty, ablation, pacemaker insertion and many more.
If you are a cath lab nurse or someone interested to work in this field, don't hesitate to share your thoughts in the comment section. What's the best nursing practice you do in the lab? I have so many questions and excited to hear professional thoughts about nursing.

Thank you so much for this informative video sir. I'm a new Cath lab Nurse here in the Philippines from Oncology unit. And I'm loving my new unit now🥰🙏 I love Cardiology so maybe that's why I'm excited with my new unit now😊🙏 but definitely because it's more fun in the Cardiac Catheterization. The team are supportive and we're family.❤️🙏

I am working in Cathlab as RN in US, not working in EP/IR. Working in University Level 1 Trauma Hospital. This is very informative. Do you also do complex cases like impella, ekos, IABP, shockwave, ecmo, rotapro, penumbra, inari, rotapro?We got 4 man team here and normally nurses scrub and monitor. Keep making videos like this! Keep it up sir!

This is insightful, thank you. How do you like working for NHS now (is the pay still lackluster?) Have you always worked in the UK? Also, nice decorations in your house!

Thank you for all this information. You were thorough. Awesome! Do you think this would be a typical day in an outpatient setting as well?

@np.rellora Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes the preparation for the procedure and nursing care are just the same. Elective patients are normally pre-assessed. Patient who had angiograms/ angioplasty, if without complications, can go home within the same day after recovery.

Thank you for the informative video. Do you guys perform cath procedure to clients who are on vents and did anything change as in standard procedures or more patients post covid outbreak? Thank you for your time.

@np.rellora Жыл бұрын

Hello JWinn Lian, (1) Yes, we perform CCL procedures to intubated patients usually with anaesthetic support. There are selected procedures wherein we put patients under general anaesthesia like Cryoablation, complicated PPM and the likes. (2) The only thing we had to change (covid related) during and after pandemic is to routinely check patient's vaccination records and perform covid swabs so we can implement the appropriate infection control protocols/ precautions.

@np.rellora Жыл бұрын

Hi! I am pretty sure that the pay in the US is higher than what we received here in the UK. Our basic pay as a band 5 cathlab nurse in London is around £2490 including high cost allowance BUT Less insurance, Tax and pension. Net pay is £1800 - £2000

Hello Ken, yes mostly radiographers deal with the machines. I will have a chat with our radiographers and let's see if we can create a content regarding radiographer's role in the cathlab.
