Goals and Outcomes
Goals and Learning Outcomes
Cardiac catheterization is an important aspect of modern cardiac care that has seen remarkable developments in the last decades. This course will provide the basic foundation of cardiac and vascular anatomy and physiology required to function effectively as a catheterization laboratory worker. Special considerations for operating in a cath lab environment, such as communication, delineation of roles, emergency equipment, sterile fields, time out procedures, and universal precautions will also be discussed. This information is the broad and essential groundwork for learning to perform well in cardiac procedural environments. 

After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Identify the advent of cardiac catheterization.
  • Describe the blood circulation of the heart.
  • Describe the anatomy and physiology of heart structures.
  • Define the coronary circulation.
  • Describe the electrical system of the heart.
  • Identify the clotting cascade mechanism.
  • Describe the relevant anatomical features of the heart and vasculature.
  • Recall the path taken by blood through the heart, pulmonary circulation, and systemic circulation.
  • Describe factors related to functioning in a procedural cardiac catheterization environment.
