My name is Sara Vlazny. I have been practicing as a nurse coming on three years. I currently work at Baptist Health Louisville in the emergency department. We use evidence based practice in formaion of different policies and procedures regularly. When we have patients come in knowing they are having a heart attack we call a "Team C" which is a series of interventions that are aimed at expediting getting the patient to the cardiac cath lab for vascular intervention. Based on evidence based practice the sooner we get the patinet to cath lab and stop the progression of potential damage to cardiac muscle the better the outcome for the patient. The interventions include several diffrent predetemined medications, notifying the cath lab team members and moving the patient quickly to cath lab.

''Yes, there are lots of EBP topics surrounding cath lab. If that is what you want to explore, let me know and I can guide your search.''
