These procedures are primarily focused on diagnosing and treating heart conditions, including coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and structural heart problems. Cath Lab Technicians are responsible for preparing and maintaining equipment, assisting with catheter-based procedures, and ensuring patient safety during these complex procedures.

Key Responsibilities :

Assist cardiologists and other physicians during cardiac catheterization, angioplasty, stent placement, electrophysiological studies, and other interventional procedures.

Monitor patients for immediate complications after the procedure, such as bleeding, changes in vital signs, or signs of infection.

Maintain, clean, and sterilize the cath lab equipment and instruments, ensuring they are functioning properly and ready for the next procedure.

Continuously monitor the patient's vital signs during the procedure, ensuring optimal conditions for the intervention.

Work closely with cardiologists, radiologists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to provide high-quality care for patients undergoing catheterization or other cardiac procedures.

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