1 Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Cardiac Multidisciplinary Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) For patients having Outpatient Coronary Angiogram as Day Stay Patient s preferred name: Consultant: Date ICP started: Ward: Print name please Designation Signature Initials Acceptable abbreviations guidelines ACE Angiotensin Converting Enzyme IA Intra Arterial Cath Catheter K Potassium CVA Cerebrovascular Accident LHC Left Heart Catheter COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease PCI Percutaneous Coronary Intervention DASE Dobutamine Assisted Stress Echo MIBI A Myocardial Perfusion Scan ECG Electrocardiogram Na Sodium egfr Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate SL Sublingual ETT Exercise Treadmill Test SOB Shortness Of Breath FBC Full Blood Count TIA Transient Ischaemic Attack IV Intravenous U&E Urea and Electrolytes IHD Ischaemic Heart Disease MRSA Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Guidelines for the use of this ICP This ICP should be used for all patients undergoing Coronary Angiography as an outpatient. It should be commenced when the patient attends pre-assessment. If at any stage the patient is no longer to have the procedure this ICP should be discontinued. The Operator is the member of the Cardiology team performing the procedure. When making their first entry in the pathway all members of staff must identify themselves on the front page. All sections/stages must be completed; no sections should be left blank in accordance with guidelines and recommendations for record keeping. If a goal is not met or is inappropriate then this should be documented as a variance with an explanation of reasons and alternative actions undertaken. This ICP should be used in conjunction with Policy for Coronary Angiography. This ICP is intended as a guide to care and does not replace clinical judgement. Version 3 - April Next review and update due 1st March Form 1557
