MetalMedic Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hey everyone! Sorry I've been MIA, as of May I've become unemployed and spent a lot of time searching for work either in EMS or anything I can get. While I've been out of work, I've been hitting as many CE's as possible. Earlier this week I went and watched a Cardiac Cath Lab at the Hospital. Not sure if anyone has ever been to one, but I got a chance to see a CTO (Double cath). Has anyone else done one of these? What were your thoughts? I'd love to get a discussion going on this (I just don't want to spew and monopolize first!) -MetalMedic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramedicmike Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Has anyone ever done one of what? A cath procedure? No. I've never cardiac cath-ed someone. I have, however, been to the cath lab on several occasions. It was a good experience and I learned a ton from each visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeEMTP Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I've been to the Cath lab several times since becoming a Paramedic. We always ask if we can stay and have never been refused. The last one they did was through the right wrist. That was a first for me. Part of my clinical rotations for Paramedic classes was some time in the Cath lab and found it to be an interesting experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
