About Cath Lab 101

I'm Rodnie Oro, a cardiac cath lab charge nurse at Barts Heart Centre in London, with a background in structural heart and TAVI.

I started Cath Lab 101 because new starters often find resources either too high-level or too protocol-heavy. These guides sit in the middle: practical orientation for the whole team, with clear diagrams, step-by-step outlines and kit lists.

Every guide follows the same structure, so you always know where to look: what it is, who it's for, the steps, the kit, the risks and the recovery.

Disclosure. I work in the medical device industry. Cath Lab 101 is independent education. It doesn't name or promote device brands, and it isn't medical advice or a substitute for local protocols.

Outside the lab I also make films and photographs. You can see that work on the Golden Shutter Films page.
