AA Elective: No
As the final supervised laboratory hours prior to the student entering the clinical affiliate setting, this course builds on the information and skills applied during Cardiovascular II Pre-Practicum (CVT 1801L) and enables the student to hone procedural scrub skills for diagnostic and interventional procedures required within the catheterization laboratory. The student performs timed skills-checks to show proficiency in the abilities needed within the catheterization setting including sterile scrub procedures, sterile gowning and gloving techniques, bubble-less manifold preparation, sterile tray setup, patient preparation, and power-injector setup, as well as other necessary abilities to assist physicians with diagnostic heart and peripheral procedures. The course also emphasizes transition toward the skills and abilities required to assist with cardiac and peripheral intervention procedures and their preparations.
