UC Irvine
Cath Lab Essentials Program - 2015
Doubletree Hotel Anaheim/Orange County
100 The City Drive, Orange, CA
______________________________________________________________________________
Course Description
The UCI Cath Lab Essentials Program is designed to expand upon and fill knowledge gaps brought to the attention of the cath lab faculty by the nurses and staff working in the cath lab. Cath lab nurses/staff require periodic updates on procedure techniques, basic hemodynamics, cardiovascular pathophysiology, angiography, and novel interventional procedures in this dynamic and changing field. The Society of
Invasive Cardiac Professionals recommends periodic updates on current and new cath lab techniques and equipment.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this activity the participant should be able to:
1.
Obtain a basic understanding of hemodynamics in the cardiac Cath Lab, identify pressure measurement, artifacts and the application of pressure waveforms to the diagnosis of valvular abnormalities.
2.
Review the indications and contraindications for cardiac catheterization, identify complications and their management and understand the use of transfemoral and transradial catheterization techniques.
3.
Identify new methods for interventional cardiology procedures, the use of hemodynamic support devices, coronary stents, fractional flow reserve (FFR), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Target Audience : Catheterization lab nurses and technicians, cardiovascular nurses, and students and fellows-in-training and local community hospital physicians.
Accreditation Statement : The University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, is accredited by the
Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. Designation Statement : The University of California, Irvine School of Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 6 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits
