Job Summary

Seeking a highly skilled Cath Lab Technologist to support cardiovascular operations across two key North Texas facilities. This role requires a versatile tech capable of assisting in both diagnostic and interventional cardiac procedures, with a strong preference for those with Interventional Radiology (IR) experience. You will play a critical role in the "heart team," ensuring imaging excellence and sterile processing during high-acuity cases, including STEMI emergencies.
 

Key Responsibilities

• Procedural Scrubbing: Assist physicians in invasive procedures, including coronary angiography, angioplasty, stent placement, and pacemaker insertions.
• Imaging Excellence: Operate advanced fluoroscopic equipment to provide high-resolution imaging while maintaining strict radiation safety protocols (ALARA).
• Hemodynamic Monitoring: Record and interpret real-time physiologic data, including intracardiac pressures and oxygen saturations.
• Emergency On-Call: Participate in a robust on-call rotation (12–15 days per month) to support the hospital’s 24/7 STEMI and IR emergency response.
• Facility Floating: Maintain flexibility to float between the Mesquite and Farmers Branch locations as unit needs and procedural volumes shift.
• Documentation: Use Epic for procedure logging and patient charting.

Clinical Spotlight: The Dual-Certified Tech

Having both ARRT and RCIS credentials makes you the clinical backbone of the lab. You are expected to bridge the gap between the physics of radiographic imaging and the clinical complexities of cardiovascular hemodynamics. With 12–15 days of call per month, you will be the primary responder for the community’s most acute cardiac events, requiring decisive action and technical precision under pressure.
