Documented vascular data such as edema, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure to contribute to accurate diagnoses. I transported patients back to our pre/post area and documented and gave report on access site, medications delivered and/or complications during the procedure to the hand off RN.
Measured heart chamber sizes and wall thickness against expected sizes to detect abnormalities. I have used Comet II FFR/IFR devices to measure flow rates and IVUS to acquire accurate measurements of vessels to determine best interventional equipment for patients.
Registered patients by confirming identification, reviewing consultation requests and entering anticipated services to patient log. I have set up patients orders in our system and obtained prior documantation on our patients to have all information available and accessible to the cardiologist before the procedure.
