STEMI Callback Times Does anyone have information about what the “national standard” is for callback time allowed for a cardiac cath lab? Thirty minutes? Many thanks, Gayle DeBolt Email: richig@msn.com Cc: cathlabdigest@aol.com Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) A question has come up at our hospital regarding UPS systems for the x-ray equipment from our patient safety committee. Is there anyone that has a standard of all angio or cath lab rooms being on a UPS in the event of a power outage to have fluoro immediately available instead of waiting for the system to reboot? Thank you, Anonymous by request Email: cathlabdigest@aol.com Documenting Contrast When documenting, does anyone chart the amount of contrast being injected into the ventricle during a ventriculogram? I'm just wondering how many CCLs document this. Thank you! Email: cwright2@clarian.org Cc: cathlabdigest@aol.com
