Typical procedures may include left and right heart catheterizations, coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), intravascular imaging, hemodynamic assessments, and potentially device-related or structural heart interventions depending on case mix. Your responsibilities will include pre-procedure patient assessment, preparing patients and rooms for procedures, monitoring patients throughout their procedures, managing moderate sedation, and providing post-procedure recovery and education. You will collaborate closely with physicians during procedures, assist with documentation, and participate in performance improvement and safety initiatives.A typical day in this role aligns with a 10-hour shift from 0700 to 1730, supporting both scheduled and emergent cases.
