This Cardiac Cath Lab Checklist outlines key requirements for safe, compliant cath lab operations. It covers traffic patterns and zoning (unrestricted, semi-restricted, restricted), staff and patient flow, and security. Built environment guidance includes room sizes, control and equipment rooms, lead shielding, ceiling height, clean supply areas, and scrub stations. Environmental and engineering criteria specify laminar flow, low return air grills, positive pressure, air change rates, temperature and humidity monitoring, and HVAC standards. Equipment guidelines address surgical lighting, booms, medical gases and outlets, electrical receptacles, and code blue systems. Additional considerations include table movement clearances, flooring, ceiling access, and collision avoidance for imaging and ceiling-mounted devices.
