ICVT1443

Cardiovascular Clinical I introduces the aspects of cardiac catheterization lab in a hospital or simulated clinical laboratory setting. Using hands-on tools, learners perform sterile techniques, hand washing, entry-level scrubbing, circulating, monitoring, and lab set-up. Learners will use the simulator to learn catheter manipulation techniques and perform diagnostic angiograms.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:

• Prepare the physiologic monitor for use and troubleshoot common machine errors.
• Record, analyze, and process hemodynamic data for interpretation in the simulated cath lab setting.
• Demonstrate appropriate surgical scrub and hand washing technique.
• Demonstrate proper gowning and gloving technique.
• Prepare a sterile table for routine cardiac cath procedure.
• Assist in performing right heart cardiac cath procedures.
• Assist in performing left heart cardiac cath procedures, including coronaries.
• Demonstrate set-up and operation of basic contrast injector systems.
• Demonstrate Endovascular Basic skills using the simulator.
• Perform diagnostic procedures using the simulator.
• Demonstrate an understanding of team communication during procedures.
• Perform sterile table setup in the allotted time.
