The purpose of cardiac catheterization is to find problems with how your heart is working and its blood flow.
Baseline blood pressure, heart rate and rhythm will be recorded. The nurse may need to shave the groin or forearm area to prepare for catheter insertion. The chest may also be shaved to allow for ECG lead placement. An IV line will be started to give fluids and medications.
Some of the key responsibilities of nurses during this period include closely monitoring the patients vital signs, managing pain and discomfort, watching for signs of bleeding or vascular injury, providing education about post-procedure care, and helping the patient gradually return to normal activities.
Responsibilities and work environment Monitoring patient vitals and sedation during and after operations to make sure patients dont have unexpected reactions. Sharing discharge paperwork and care instructions with patients or their families. Revising patient charts to add information about their operation.
After having cardiac catheterisation and coronary angiography, your pulse and blood pressure will be checked and recorded. If the catheter was inserted into your groin, a nurse may apply pressure for up to 10 minutes to stop the bleeding after the catheter and sheath have been removed.

Perform perineal care before inserting a urinary catheter and regularly thereafter. Perform hand hygiene before and after insertion, as well as during any manipulation of the device or site. Maintain strict aseptic technique during insertion and use sterile gloves and equipment.
A registered nurse in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (shortened as Cardiac Cath Lab) assists cardiologists during the entire catheterization process. They prepare the patient before and after the procedure to stabilize their health status.
You will need technical skills, critical thinking, and excellent communication as a cath lab nurse. Cath lab nurses start IVs and administer powerful cardiac and sedative medications. Their keen assessment skills are necessary for detecting subtle but important changes throughout the procedure.
