Setting Up a Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory in Iraq
A cardiac catheterization laboratory (Cath Lab) is one of the most sophisticated and costly clinical investments a hospital can make. However, with proper planning and the right partners, establishing a world-class Cath Lab in Iraq is achievable.
What is a Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory?
A Cath Lab is a specialized examination room where minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures are performed using catheters and imaging technology. It serves as the hub for:
Essential Equipment for a Cath Lab
1. Angiography System (C-Arm)
The centerpiece of any Cath Lab, providing real-time X-ray imaging:
2. Hemodynamic Monitoring System
Real-time pressure monitoring during procedures:
3. Patient Table
4. Additional Equipment
Regulatory Requirements in Iraq
