Responsibilities And Duties
Assist physicians during diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization procedures (coronary angiography, PCI, right and left heart catheterizations, hemodynamic assessments).
Function as scrub technologist, circulator, and/or monitor/recorder during procedures, ensuring sterile technique and workflow.
Prepare procedure rooms, ensuring availability and proper functioning of equipment, supplies, catheters, contrast media, and emergency medications per physician preference and protocol.
Provide technical support to physicians by anticipating needs, handing instruments, catheters, guidewires, and devices in a timely, safe, and accurate manner.
Perform detailed physiologic monitoring of patients during procedures, including continuous ECG monitoring, interpretation of heart rhythms/dysrhythmias, and blood pressure and hemodynamic assessment.
Operate hemodynamic monitoring systems and imaging equipment to acquire high‑quality diagnostic images and pressure waveforms in accordance with departmental standards and physician requirements.
Record all aspects of cardiovascular procedures accurately, including patient data, procedural steps, medications, devices used, fluoroscopy time, contrast volume, and complications in designated systems and logs.
Analyze arterial and venous blood gas samples and automated analyzers to determine cardiac output, metabolic status, and oxygen saturation, and promptly communicate critical values to the care team.
Enter and verify patient information, procedural data, and charges in the electronic medical record (EMR) and/or specialized cath lab software in a timely and accurate manner.
Assist with vascular access preparation and management following appropriate scope of practice and facility protocols.
Adhere to radiation safety principles and ALARA standards for patients, staff, and self; ensure proper use of shielding, collimation, and dose‑recording systems.
Maintain and troubleshoot recording, imaging, and hemodynamic equipment, coordinating service or maintenance as needed to minimize downtime and ensure optimal performance.
Monitor inventory levels of supplies, devices, medications, and contrast materials in the cath lab; assist with ordering, stocking, and rotation of supplies to support cost‑effective operations and readiness.
Follow all infection prevention guidelines, including appropriate PPE, sterile field management, equipment disinfection, and environmental cleaning standards.
Support safe patient handling practices, including the ability to lift, move, and transfer patients in conjunction with team members and mechanical aids as required.

Perform other related duties as assigned to support efficient cath lab operations and high‑quality patient care.
Knowledge / Skills / Abilities Required
Expert knowledge of cardiovascular anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology related to invasive cardiac procedures and hemodynamics.
Proficiency in performing and supporting diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization procedures with minimal supervision.
Ability to interpret ECG rhythms, recognize dysrhythmias, and identify hemodynamic changes and urgent/emergent conditions promptly.
Skilled in operation of fluoroscopic imaging systems, hemodynamic monitoring equipment, automatic blood gas analyzers, and related cath lab technologies.
Strong understanding of radiation physics and safety, including ALARA principles and proper use of personal protective equipment and dosimetry.
Thorough knowledge of sterile technique, infection prevention practices, and universal precautions in an invasive procedure environment.
Accuracy in documenting procedures, patient assessments, and equipment usage in electronic medical records or cath lab information systems.
Strong assessment, critical‑thinking, and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to act quickly and appropriately in high‑stress or emergent situations.
Effective communication and interpersonal skills; collaboration with physicians, nurses, technologists, and ancillary staff.
Commitment to patient safety, quality of care, and service excellence, with empathy and professionalism.
Organizational and time‑management skills to handle multiple cases and changing priorities during high‑volume days.
Physical ability to stand for extended periods, wear lead aprons and PPE, and lift or maneuver patients and equipment.
