EP-lab setup & workflow.

How we organize the room so the operator, anesthesia, mapping, and circulating roles all have a clean line of sight and a clean line of motion.

Abbott's EnSite X EP platform — hybrid impedance and magnetic localization, the HD Grid catheter, and the omnipolar mapping workflow the team should know.

Medtronic's integrated platform — one catheter that maps in high density and delivers either pulsed field or RF ablation, all on the Prism mapping software.

Boston Scientific's ultra-high-density mapping platform — the IntellaMap Orion mini-basket, Lumipoint automated annotation, and the workflow nuances the team needs to know.

The Biosense Webster Carto 3 platform — how it localizes catheters, which catheters it pairs with, and what the team needs to set up and watch during a case.

Patches, references, system check, and the prep work that means we're mapping cleanly from the first catheter in.

Where each patch goes, why it goes there, and what we check before the drape covers everything.

EP device implants are operating-room procedures performed in a procedure room. Cath lab habits do not meet the standard required when hardware is being implanted. This page is the discipline standard we hold the team to — patient masking, counts, syringe labeling, sharps safety, door traffic, and the personal habits that separate good technique from bad.

How we build and protect the sterile field for EP cases — drapes, tables, catheter layout, and the discipline that keeps it sterile from first prep to last sheath pull.

Radiation in the EP lab is a shared exposure. ALARA isn't a poster — it's the operator settings, our positioning, and habits we build over thousands of cases.
