Under Discussion:
Cable Disorganization
Our lab has an abundance of cables that often becomes tangled and inevitably damaged. Last week, damaged cable resulted in an intraprocedure delay of over 1 hour. Our Biomedical Engineers have authorized our department to contact a third-party vendor for consultation. Has anyone had similar issues, and if so, how did you correct the problem? Does anyone know of a vendor that services this type of problem?

I suggest a trip to the HRS and see what vendors have to offer in terms of IT integration. There are a number of affordable solutions on the market now.

Scope of Practice
I am looking for a detailed "Scope of Practice" for the EP/cath lab. I do have the scope of practice offered on the SICP website.
— John J. Simon III, MBA RT (CV) RCC
I am also looking for a detailed "scope of practice" for an RN in the EP lab. Is an RN qualified to do EP Med Stimulation? Are we covered with our license?

Nurses are qualified to cross train and function in the EP lab as any other practitioner. For an EP lab to function efficiently I believe in cross training. I will be very happy to share our RN job description in the EP lab. Please feel free to email me at: beheirs@sutterhealth.org
