Working in the cardiac centre is like working outside the normal operating room routine, however, it depends on the conditions and what procedures are scheduled to perform there. Some trainees are frightened when they are assigned to work there, because it is the place and environment that is not familiar to them.
Today we had two ageing men requiring interventions to control their cardiac rhythm, one had ventricular tachycardia while the other one had 2:1 AV block, not counting an early morning patient with an AICD implant. The former had cardiac resynchronisation therapy, while the latter had a dual chamber pacemaker implanted.
In the paediatric room, we had two cardiac catheterisation in two cyanotic congenital heart disease patients, and the last patient also the youngest of the day had her central venous catheter placed.
That was a normal busy day in the cardiac centre, too tired to have exercise, better go to bed instead.
