1. Basic Anatomy of the Heart
Nurses should have a good understanding of the basic anatomy of the heart to recognize interventions performed on the heart. An overview of the cardiac anatomy will be presented with visual images. This will include the internal and external anatomical structures. Coronary arteries will be reviewed along with the common electrical conduction path.
2. Right vs. Left Cardiac Catheterization
Differences between the right and left cardiac catheterization will be discussed in detail. Patients may undergo one or both procedures and may not understand the diagnostic importance of each. Participants will develop an understanding of implications for right versus left cardiac catheterization and will learn strategies to educate patients and families.
3. Procedural Expectations
A health care provider with a solid understanding of the expectations for invasive coronary interventions improves patient care. Course participants will understand which important documents, laboratory tests, and additional items are required prior to the procedure.
4. Procedure Complication Management
Health care providers knowledgeable about how to manage post-procedure complications from invasive coronary interventions can improve patient outcomes. Complications discussed include access management, vagal response, reactions to contrast, and medication interactions. Findings from the procedures, such as valve disease, pulmonary hypertension, and coronary disease, will briefly be discussed.
