Cath Lab Technician

Cath lab technicians, also known as cardiac catheterization technologists, are cardiovascular technologists who work in facilities that run tests on heart health. They assist with the insertion of catheters into the heart, and are responsible for measuring and administering special fluids. These small tubes and fluids are used for tests to determine how well the heart is working. Tests include x-rays, pressure checks, and pumping strength evaluations. The cath lab technician works under the supervision of a physician, and must monitor patients for life-threatening changes during a procedure. Some cath labs also support non invasive heart health procedures. Learn about the equipment you'd operate as a cath lab technician, and review the training options for the job.
