Post Procedure
Does your lab transport patients back to their room post RFA procedure monitored or unmonitored? Also, do all of your RFA patients post procedure go directly back to their room, or are they monitored for a short period of time in a CCL/EP holding area/recovery room?

Femoral Sheaths
Our EP Nurses are going to start putting the femoral venous sheaths in for the EP cases. There does not seem to be any other centre in the UK that are doing this; could anyone help with information/protocols/policies, etc.?
