Nurse

Comprehensive Patient Care (ICU Cath Lab):

• Provide expert, evidence-based patient care to critically ill individuals in the ICU , including those with complex medical conditions, multi-system organ failure, and post-surgical recovery needs.
• Deliver specialized pre-, intra-, and post-procedure patient care in the Cath Lab for patients undergoing diagnostic and interventional cardiac procedures (e.g., angiograms, angioplasties, stenting, pacemaker insertions).
• Conduct thorough and ongoing assessments of patient conditions in both settings, interpreting vital signs, lab results, and diagnostic findings to formulate and update individualized nursing care plans.

Medication Management Advanced Monitoring:

• Administer all medications, intravenous fluids, and blood products accurately and safely in both ICU and Cath Lab settings, ensuring proper dosage, route, and timing, and monitoring for adverse reactions.
• Independently operate and troubleshoot a wide range of advanced ICU equipment (e.g., mechanical ventilators, cardiac monitors, infusion pumps, dialysis machines) and Cath Lab -specific equipment (e.g., hemodynamic monitoring systems, imaging equipment, defibrillators).
• Perform specialized nursing procedures relevant to both ICU (e.g., endotracheal suctioning, central line care) and Cath Lab (e.g., sheath removal, hemostasis, monitoring for complications post-procedure).

Collaboration Communication:

• Maintain excellent communication skills with patients and their families in both ICU and Cath Lab contexts, providing clear explanations of care, offering emotional support, and facilitating shared decision-making.
• Collaborate seamlessly with multidisciplinary teams, including intensivists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, residents, respiratory therapists, and technicians, to ensure holistic and coordinated patient care .
• Provide detailed and accurate documentation of all patient assessments, interventions, medications, and responses in the electronic health record for both ICU and Cath Lab patients.
• Actively participate in daily ward rounds, team meetings, and interdepartmental discussions.

Safety Quality Assurance:

• Ensure strict adherence to all ICU and Cath Lab protocols, hospital policies, infection control practices, and patient safety guidelines, including radiation safety in the Cath Lab .
• Proactively identify and mitigate potential risks to patient safety, including medication errors, falls, healthcare-associated infections, and procedural complications.
• Participate in quality improvement initiatives within both the ICU and Cath Lab to enhance patient care standards and outcomes.
• Maintain professional competence through continuous learning and development in critical care and interventional cardiology nursing .
