The cardiac catheterization laboratory (cath lab) is the medical facility
used for coronary catheterization to diagnosis and treat coronary artery disease
in patients. During this procedure, a catheter is inserted into an artery or
vein to the heart and into the coronary vessels. Angiograms are used to explore
the patency of the vessels and plan for appropriate treatment.
A cath lab nurse works with the health care team in providing care for patients during the catheterization procedure. Cath lab nursing is practiced by nurses who have formal, post-secondary education and who function in highly specialized roles.
