RN Cardiac Cath Lab

The Cardiac (Coronary) Cath Lab unit at the Meijer Heart Center is a highly specialized procedural unit focusing on providing care to patients having a variety of cardiac conditions.  The lab is a very fast-paced, dynamic unit, that quickly adapts to emergent situations. It consists of 5 procedure rooms, providing care for patients experiencing issues with heart failure; structural issues; peripheral circulatory issues; and coronary issues such as chest pain, STEMI(ST elevated myocardial infarction, NSTEMI(Non-ST elevated myocardial infarction). Nurses are drawn to the cath lab, not only for the wide variety of procedures we perform, but also for the cutting edge procedures we provide to patients. We consistently have one of the highest volumes of STEMI patients in Michigan, caring for over 300 STEMI patients per year. Our nurses become experts  in caring for a large array of patients including, but not limited to, (patients  with) Impellas ; IABP’s; swan- ganz catheters; ECMO; management of unstable/declining patients, including medication management. Nurses learn the unique skill of caring for a patient, including  monitoring, assessing, sedating,  while performing the tasks of the procedure. 

Our lab is committed in providing the safest and best experience, not only for the patients, but staff as well. The lab has been very successful in promoting radiation safety for patients and staff. In 2017, we received the Golden Innovations Award, for our work in promoting radiation safety for patients and staff.

The culture of the lab emphasizes team work, as well supportive interpersonal relationships among staff members,  creating a family-like environment. Staff work very closely with physicians. There has been a lot of work done to decrease the power distance between staff and physicians. The atmosphere of the unit is one of collaboration and mutual respect.
