Welcome to a hub where you can watch and learn anything about Cath Lab procedures.
On the App Store and Google Play
An orientation handbook for anyone starting out in the cardiac catheter lab.
Cath Lab 101 puts procedure guides, ECG practice, quizzes and kit lists on your phone, so you can learn the room between cases. It is for education and orientation, not a substitute for local protocols.
What's inside
Everything below is in the app today, on iPhone and Android.
113 procedure guides, from a first day in the lab to advanced work, at Foundational, Core and Advanced levels. Each guide covers the steps, the kit, risks, recovery and common questions, with a teaching diagram you can follow.
A 12-lead placement guide, 70 rhythms in 9 groups, and 149 example strips, plus ST changes and the culprit artery. The strips are drawn by the app, not taken from a patient.
1,279 quiz questions with explanations, including a quiz for every guide, plus ECG, ECG advanced and Resus quizzes. Questions you miss come back for review.
The cath lab game. Clock in from the Staff room and work through 407 scenarios across 66 procedures, like a VF arrest during PCI. Make the calls and build XP as you go.
Each guide has a kit list you can tick off, with generic illustrations of the main equipment. Sizes and types vary by device and operator.
