Mobile cardiac catheterization laboratories. Society for Cardiac Angiography and Interventions Laboratory Performance Standards Committee.
The Society of Cardiac Angiography and interventions proposed guidelines for the establishment of mobile cardiac catheterization laboratories. These laboratories should be established only in areas with genuine need, preferably as determined by an objective medical authority. Safety of the patient should be of paramount importance and specifications as to the selection of patients, transportation of patients with complications, the relationship to a tertiary care center, and quality assurance mechanisms are all addressed.
