Key Responsibilities:
Demonstrate expert knowledge of cardiac, vascular, respiratory, and renal physiology and pathology.
Monitor and assist in a wide range of diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization procedures.
Interpret ECG waveforms, including lethal arrhythmias and signs of myocardial infarction or chamber enlargement; intervene per ACLS protocols when necessary.
Assist in the use and interpretation of advanced imaging techniques, including intravascular ultrasound, Doppler velocimetry, and cine angiographic projections.
Calculate and interpret hemodynamic parameters and cardiac pressure waveforms.
Identify coronary anatomy and support physicians during angioplasty (PTCA), atherectomy, and other complex procedures.
Prepare and manage the procedural table setup and required sterile supplies.
Operate and understand the full suite of cath lab fluoroscopy and imaging equipment.
Accurately document catheterization events and monitor patient status in real-time using specialized systems.
Perform ACT (Activated Clotting Time) testing, cardiac outputs, and O saturations.
Understand and assist in electrophysiologic studies, pacemaker implants, defibrillator placements, and therapeutic ablation procedures.
Recognize abnormal lab values (e.g., ABGs, electrolytes, hemoglobin, BUN, creatinine) and report to physicians promptly.
Demonstrate complete familiarity with cardiac medications (generic/trade names), their uses, dosages, and pharmacologic actions.
Lead and participate in special projects and relevant department committees as needed.
Support orientation and training of new staff and promote continuous learning and team development.
Uphold the highest standards of medical ethics, patient privacy, and safety throughout all clinical interactions.
