Do you also do complex cases like impella, ekos, IABP, shockwave, ecmo, rotapro, penumbra, inari, rotapro?We got 4 man team here and normally nurses scrub and monitor. Keep making videos like this! Keep it up sir!

[@np.rellora]

Hello! yes we do Iabp, shockwave, ecmo, rotapro/ orbital atherectomy.hopefully I’ll find time to make more videos. Comments like this motivate me. Thank you. 🙏

Thank you so much for this informative video sir. I'm a new Cath lab Nurse here in the Philippines from Oncology unit. And I'm loving my new unit now🥰🙏 I love Cardiology so maybe that's why I'm excited with my new unit now😊🙏 but definitely because it's more fun in the Cardiac Catheterization. The team are supportive and we're family.❤️🙏

Oo sabi ko nga May CICU doon 😂😂😂

[@NurseHowie]

This is insightful, thank you. How do you like working for NHS now (is the pay still lackluster?) Have you always worked in the UK? Also, nice decorations in your house!

[@np.rellora]

Thank you. I like working for the NHS but the pay is still better in the US. My wife decorated our house, thanks.

Sir i am confused which is better course in terms of job and salary in INDIA 1) Cardiac perfusion 2) Cath lab technlogy 3) Cardiac care technology 4) Cardiovascular technology Plzz reply sir

[@kurbanali6412]

Cardiovacular tachnolagy is the best course.

[@kurbanali6412]

I'm also Doing cardiovacular tachnolagy.

[@His_ChristieRose]

Thank you for all this information. You were thorough. Awesome! Do you think this would be a typical day in an outpatient setting as well?

[@np.rellora]

Thank you! Yes the preparation for the procedure and nursing care are just the same. Elective patients are normally pre-assessed. Patient who had angiograms/ angioplasty, if without complications, can go home within the same day after recovery.

[@His_ChristieRose]

@@np.rellora thank you for your timely response.

Hi Sir! I'm a cathlab radiographer here in the philippines. I'm planning to go abroad UK specifically. Is the Radiographers only job or focuses only in the machine? Thank you in advance

[@np.rellora]

Hello Ken, yes mostly radiographers deal with the machines. I will have a chat with our radiographers and let's see if we can create a content regarding radiographer's role in the cathlab.

[@kenramos5283]

@@np.rellora In my current hospital nurses is for medication at paper works only. Radiographers is in-charge of stents and inflation etc... i'm just curious about the set up in other country. thank you. Godbless!

[@np.rellora]

@@kenramos5283 normally it should only be the machine. Both circulating and scrub nurses (or doctor) deal with stents and the likes. Physiologists deal with machines.

can we be a Cath Lab nurse even without Exp? thank you

[@np.rellora]

Yes as long as you have a license as a nurse. The department will train you.

[@jwinnlian9430]

Thank you for the informative video. Do you guys perform cath procedure to clients who are on vents and did anything change as in standard procedures or more patients post covid outbreak? Thank you for your time.

[@np.rellora]

Hello JWinn Lian, (1) Yes, we perform CCL procedures to intubated patients usually with anaesthetic support. There are selected procedures wherein we put patients under general anaesthesia like Cryoablation, complicated PPM and the likes. (2) The only thing we had to change (covid related) during and after pandemic is to routinely check patient's vaccination records and perform covid swabs so we can implement the appropriate infection control protocols/ precautions.

[@wedgepressure4313]

Hey there! Im a cath lab nurse in the US! How does it pay in the uk?

[@np.rellora]

Hi! I am pretty sure that the pay in the US is higher than what we received here in the UK. Our basic pay as a band 5 cathlab nurse in London is around £2490 including high cost allowance BUT Less insurance, Tax and pension. Net pay is £1800 - £2000

[@emullen93]

1800-2000 per month? Or every 2 weeks?

[@third3354]

sir di po ba delikado sa NUrse magwork as Cathlab dahil sa mga radiation? thanks

[@np.rellora]

Hello 👋 May lead gowns naman po na ginagamit. Basta maayos po ang paggamit at pag suot ng PPE (lead gown/ thyroid shield) at nakapag training ng Basic Radiation Safety, Hindi kailangan mag alala.
