Job Description

A Registered Nurse (RN) in Electrophysiology (EP) provides specialized nursing care to patients undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures related to heart rhythm disorders. EP nurses work in collaboration with electrophysiologists and other healthcare professionals to assist in the management of arrhythmias, conduct diagnostic tests such as electrophysiology studies (EPS), and support patients through procedures like catheter ablation, pacemaker or defibrillator implantation, and other treatments. This role requires expert knowledge of cardiac care, advanced electrophysiology techniques, and the ability to work in high-stakes, fast-paced environments.

Key Responsibilities :

• Pre-Procedure Assessment and Preparation :

Conduct thorough pre-procedure assessments of patients, including reviewing medical history, current medications, allergies, and previous cardiac conditions.

Assist the electrophysiologist during electrophysiology studies (EPS), which involve mapping the electrical pathways of the heart.

Monitor patients closely after an EP procedure, including assessing vital signs, cardiac rhythms, and any signs of complications (e.g., bleeding, infection, arrhythmia recurrence).

Provide education to patients and families regarding arrhythmias, pacemaker / defibrillator use, and lifestyle changes needed to manage their heart condition.

Work closely with electrophysiologists, cardiologists, and other medical professionals to ensure that patients receive optimal care during and after the procedure.

Follow strict infection control protocols during procedures, including sterile techniques when inserting catheters and performing other invasive procedures.

Maintain accurate, up-to-date documentation of patient assessments, procedures, medications administered, and outcomes.

Respond to emergency situations, such as cardiac arrhythmias, complications from the procedure (e.g., catheter-induced trauma), or adverse reactions to medications or anesthesia.
