Your role and responsibility during an emergency in the cath lab. Communication is extremely important. This power point discusses how to do that. Effective teamwork and communication increases the success of resuscitation.
Vascular complications post cardiac catherizationhcondry
This document provides information and guidance for managing vascular complications that can occur after cardiac catheterization. It begins with objectives and describes the cardiac catheterization procedure and most common complication of bleeding. It then discusses specific complications like hematomas, pseudoaneurysms, retroperitoneal bleeding, arteriovenous fistulas, contrast induced nephropathy, loss of pulses, and strokes. Treatment options and steps to take for each complication are outlined. The document concludes with discussing setting up a first aid kit, providing discharge instructions, and answering questions.
The document discusses prevention and treatment of complications from groin punctures during cardiac procedures. It describes optimal puncture sites, common complications like hematomas, and treatments for minor oozing or more serious bleeding. Risk factors for complications include age, diabetes, obesity, and large sheath sizes. Manual compression is recommended to control bleeding, along with monitoring vital signs.

This document discusses best practices for radial hemostasis after a transradial procedure. The goals are to minimize bleeding complications while also preventing radial artery occlusion. Key points include: applying focused manual compression using a TR-band or similar device; titrating pressure below the patient's mean arterial pressure using plethysmography; leaving compression on for at least 2 hours; and coordinating care with nursing staff as part of a standardized post-procedure protocol. Radial hemostasis is important to perform correctly in order to realize the benefits of the transradial approach.
Diagnostic Procedures for Cardiovascular systemrangeles5
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure that inserts a catheter into the heart to evaluate heart function and disease. It can diagnose conditions like coronary artery disease and determine if treatments like angioplasty are needed. The catheter is inserted into an artery and guided to the heart where contrast dye is injected to image the heart and arteries. An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the heart's electrical activity through electrodes on the skin to check for issues like heart attacks or abnormal rhythms. A computed tomography (CT) scan uses x-rays to create clear pictures of the heart and assess conditions like tumors without invasive procedures.
An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) uses iodinated contrast injected intravenously and x-ray imaging to evaluate the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. It is used to detect abnormalities, tumors, stones, or other issues. Patients fast before the procedure and are monitored after for side effects from the contrast such as nausea. Nursing care focuses on hydration, monitoring the IV site, and reporting any issues.
The document provides an overview of cardiology topics including:
- Three invasive cardiac tests used to diagnose abnormalities: cardiac catheterization, coronary angiogram, and stress tests.
- The anatomy and physiology of the heart including blood flow through chambers and valves.
- Common cardiac screening and imaging tests like EKGs, echocardiograms, nuclear stress tests, and cardiac CTs.
- The differences between left and right heart catheterization, with left assessing arteries and right assessing veins and pressures.
- Access points for catheterization including the femoral artery and radial artery, assessed with Allen's test.
Getting Things Done - Tips from someone with ADHD and OCDJason Lotito
I've had ADHD and OCD my entire life, but didn't get diagnosed with it until I was 33. Up to that point, I struggled as a developer to get things done. This talk is all about the tips, tricks, and techniques I used to get things done. From managing your time, prioritizing, and being a better leader, this talk is full of the things I still use on a daily basis to overcome having both ADHD and OCD.
The document discusses drugs commonly used in cardiac catheterization laboratories. It describes the uses, mechanisms of action, dosages, and side effects of various drugs including lidocaine for local anesthesia, heparin and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors for anticoagulation during procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention, nitrates like glyceryl trinitrate for vasodilation, inotropes like dopamine and dobutamine, antiarrhythmics like amiodarone, and contrast agents like iohexol. The document provides an overview of how these drugs are utilized during different cardiac procedures performed in cath labs.

The document describes the arterial and venous anatomy of the upper and lower limbs. It begins by outlining the arterial supply to the upper limb, starting from the subclavian artery and its branches. It then discusses the arteries of the forearm, hand, and veins of the upper limb. For the lower limb, it discusses the femoral artery and its branches that supply the thigh as well as the arteries of the leg. It includes diagrams to illustrate the key structures and their relationships. CT, MR, and conventional angiography images are also provided to demonstrate the vascular anatomy.
This document provides information on complications that can occur after femoral access for catheterization procedures. The major complications discussed include hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, and arterial occlusion. For each complication, the summary describes typical physical findings and recommended nursing interventions. Studies comparing different approaches to hemostasis and sheath removal are also summarized, finding no significant difference in vascular complication rates between sandbag compression and bandage dressings.

The 4 degrees of separation between pain and pleasureDeborah Davis
Do you feel any sort of foot pain whenever you go for a walk? There are a number of things you can do either to prevent or lessen the pain. For starters, you should regularly exercise your feet by doing some morning stretches. You can also use some orthotics or shoe inserts. To learn more about foot pain, check out these slides from Docpods.
