  • 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.

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!

      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

    • @np.rellora
      @np.rellora  Год назад

      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.
