Came across to this video when I was just starting as a cathlab radiographer and now I'm back 3 year later. And I can say that this video is very informative. Thank you.
I would agree this is a really good video. Thanks for posting. Currently looking into becoming an RT and am eyeing the cath lab as a potential future interest. Your video did a great job giving me a better idea of what goes on in the cath lab
Hi! I'm having an interview for the cath lab tech position and I'm kinda nervous because I don't have any idea what job it is even tho I'm a rad tech also 😅 hahaha....thanks for the video 👍👍👍
Shane Montes you’ll do great I’m sure! Join Cath Lab Lounge on Facebook and you will find a wealth of info there. Search within that Facebook group for new tech, newbie, interview, etc and you can read a lot of ideas from Cath Lab employees around the world! Good Luck! It’s the best job I’ve ever had!
I'm a cath lab radiographer in Australia. Do cath lab rad techs usually have to cross train in other aspects of patient care in the cath lab to work in the USA?
For someone who works on the supply chain aspect of a hospital who just recent transferred over to Cathlab, what tips would you give to help supply or better organize the unit? We have tags to order our catheters & coils but I don't see examples in the video.
Hi there! I'm a new xray tech working in the cath lab and I'm so glad to have found your video! It's nice to see parallels to the cath lab I work in. I noticed when you demonstrated the C arm in RAO, that the xray tube looked like it had a piece of lead covering the side and I'm thinking that would be useful for the physician standing on patient's left side working in pacemakers. Did GE build that in or was it an add-on? Does that piece of lead make it awkward to move the c arm in various positions? I'm also wondering if you could give me some advice for me as new staff working in cath lab. I've had minimal exposure to cardiac/interventional radiology and the past month has been quite overwhelming, trying to learn equipment, catheters, procedures. Thank you for reading this!
+Monica C I forgot to give a bit of background, I work in a teaching hospital in Canada, it's kind of a new initiative that they're integrating MRTs into the cath lab, traditionally anything x-ray related was operated by the cardiologists. So they haven't completely defined the duties and capabilities of a MRT in cath lab (we're called medical radiation technologists in Canada) So far they are training us in scrubbing and teching and hope we will incorporate our image/radiography skills as we feel more comfortable in cath lab later on. Thanks again!
Hi Monica! GE does make a shield like the one you were referring to and it's very easy to use. As for advice, I will say that every newbie to the Cath lab feels overwhelmed the first 6 - 12 months. Feel free to email me if you have more questions at scottpinion@hotmail.com. I don't get to check TH-cam as often as I should. Take care!
What city/state please??? I like the singing at end..was this the one that said: Ames, Iowa??? I did intern at Mary Greely Hospital their from the F.D., Iowa Radiology Program at ICCC..in Dodge!!..Graduated in Rad Tech in 93..been working ever since, mainly in Arizona..now applying for Cath Lab in Lake Havesue, Az..best wishes..to all..Kris, RT
I just started a position in vascular interventional radiology. I love it so much! But its very hard finding resources to study to be more prepared for actual real time sterile cases. Anyone have any recommendations for informations on HOW TO HANDLE THOSE LONG WIRES. Techniques. All that jazz haha
DID you do a youtube search on Cath Lab Radiology, it pulls up some real helpful ones, are you RN, Scrub tech, MA or RT (I'm RT and apply for Cath Lab positions) it finally interests me after 25plus yrs of general Xray...Can you tell what City/state this is..did he say at the beginning, I didn't see it in the comments..Click your "save to favorites, I created: save to my cath lab fav's"..this is good idea to save and can review fast..their is many to review now!! Best wishes in your new job, update me or us please!!🌹🔎🐾🐭😉💉💉
@@KDurschmidt Im RT! the hospital i work in has interventional radiology and then cath lab. Only stuff i found was for just cath lab. and though alot of the stuff we use are the same. I was hoping to learn procedures along the way. haha but im getting the hang of it! thank you for the info! i appreciate it!
Can you suggest a resource for me to become more familiar with when certain diagnostic catheters are used, when, why etc as well as guides wires. And so on. I feel like as scrub tech or circulator, we need to anticipate our even offer suggestionsc when cardiologists is doing diagnostic or intervention procedures. Books, videos, drug rep websites etc.
My oldest son does this at the rad tech in the hospital 🏥 cat scans cardio cath test 🕊 done in 2020 11-29, 2020. The tube put in my wrist areas of my.arm wrist.
Irfan Rivai sorry so late replying. The job varies a lot from lab to lab. In my lab I do everything based on what the Doctor and/or procedure need. From what I hear in other labs it seems to be similar.
Greetings Sir Scott, I'm a lithotripsy radtech for 4 year's. I think I'm about to shift as a cathlab radtech. I have been reviewing you're video a couple of times. On the imaging part, Are those the sequence of images for cardiac catherization?
Hi Xin, the images in the video are random. In my experience, each doctor has his/her own pattern to the sequence they take images. In my hospital, some doc's prefer to do all their own angles and others prefer to have their scrub/rad tech do them. I Hope this is is helpful!
Hi I'm a Cardiac Cathlab Technician from India and we operate fluoroscopy machines is it different in USA? Are only radiology techs operate x-ray equipment? What do Cardiac cathlab techs do then? I want to work in USA but I'm confused about my role there
But i wish he was there for me Lynn because of some sob stories about all of us disabled people alone right now and I have a question about how to make a good relationship partner for myself self-centered and how much I want to think 🤔 THAT you all crying 😢 I took away from the fact that im is a.

Very interesting, even seeing all of items and catheters involved.

Irfan Rivai sorry so late replying. The job varies a lot from lab to lab. In my lab I do everything based on what the Doctor and/or procedure need. From what I hear in other labs it seems to be similar.

Hi I'm a Cardiac Cathlab Technician from India and we operate fluoroscopy machines is it different in USA? Are only radiology techs operate x-ray equipment?
What do Cardiac cathlab techs do then?
I want to work in USA but I'm confused about my role there
Depends on the state. States like Texas as more flexible when it comes to cross-training
CA is more restrictive if I'm not mistaken
What is the scop in cath lab
You guys have a window!? 😫 Our stent room is as small as a full sized bed. 👎🏼
