Provide post-procedure instructions to patients and their families, including advice on post-operative care, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments. Maintain, clean, and sterilize the cath lab equipment and instruments, ensuring they are functioning properly and ready for the next procedure.

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. Stay up to date with the latest advancements in cardiac catheterization techniques, equipment, and best practices.

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. Adhere to all regulatory guidelines, including HIPAA for patient privacy, OSHA safety standards, and Joint Commission requirements.
