What they are checking: Whether they can handle 10-hour shifts plus two to three weeknight calls a week without safety slipping.
The lab works with Cardiotesting, Pre Op, Exercise Physiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery. Tell me about a time a handoff between teams broke down.

What would you do
A patient's blood pressure drops suddenly during an ablation and the heart rate climbs. What do you do?
What they are checking: Calm, ordered response to a possible pericardial effusion and clear communication with the physician.
A patient is very anxious before their ablation and asks if they will be awake. How do you respond?
What they are checking: Their ability to calm patients honestly without promising things that depend on the physician's plan.
About the work
What experience do you have with electrophysiology studies, ablations, or pacemaker and defibrillator insertions, and what was your role in the room?

During a radiofrequency ablation, what are you watching for that tells you something is going wrong?
What they are checking: Whether they know the major complications, like tamponade or heart block, and recognize early signs.
How do you manage procedural sedation in the lab, and when would you stop and get help?
What they are checking: Their airway and sedation safety judgment, which is central to patient safety in a lab setting.
After a device implant, what teaching do you give the patient before they go home?
What they are checking: Whether they cover arm restrictions, wound care, infection signs and device follow-up in plain language.
How do you handle radiation safety and protecting yourself and others in the lab?
