    hi am due to attend an interview next week in cath lab,for that i need to prepare a 10minute presentation of "the biggest development in cardiac cath lab in the past 10yrs" any body has any ideas/suggesions please share it with me thanks
    Closure devices..angioseal,mynx, and there are others. Definately saves time without the need for line pulls,and I'm sure less complications with groins too.

    . I always loved comments from ICU nurses on what a cruise job cath lab is- if they only had a clue!
    Ain't that the truth!! I had 5 hrs ICU experience and the amount of work I do in the cath lab blows that away.

    And ICU or ED experience is vital for the lab. This is no place for newbies...

    Lol. That's supposed to say 5 years experience, instead of 5 hours...
