The only book for nurses new to the cath lab environment, this quick-access orientation guide clearly delineates the nurse's primary responsibilities during routine interventional and diagnostic procedures. The second edition is updated with the most current guidelines and features a completely new chapter-Adults with Congenital Heart Disease-along with new images of peripheral angiography and intervention. It includes updated information on anesthesia support, new devices, closure devices, procedural complications, emergency care, structural heart procedures, and more. Written in a concise, easy-to-read format with streamlined, bulleted information, this orientation guide delivers step-by-step information on common interventions and procedures. It clarifies the roles of an interdisciplinary team within the cath lab and offers anatomy reviews as needed. Illustrative tables, examples of common homodynamic calculations, and images of pressure waveforms and angiograms provide vital information. Each chapter begins with key learning objectives and "Fast Facts" summaries highlight salient points. The book also serves as a quick reference for those seeking RCIS certification.
