Assist in transferring the patient from the procedure table to recovery, ensuring comfort and safety during transport.
Help with patient recovery by monitoring cardiac rhythm, vital signs, and the insertion site for any signs of complications, particularly bleeding or hematoma formation.
Provide post-procedure instructions to patients and their families, including advice on post-operative care, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.

Maintain, clean, and sterilize the cath lab equipment and instruments, ensuring they are functioning properly and ready for the next procedure.
Regularly check and troubleshoot cath lab machinery, including X-ray equipment, electrocardiograms (EKG), defibrillators, and patient monitors.
Order necessary supplies, manage inventory, and ensure all materials needed for procedures are available and in good condition.
Assist in the calibration of equipment to ensure accurate diagnostic results.
