EP Technologist - Pediatric Cath Lab

MultiCare Health System•Tacoma, WA

7d•Onsite

About The Position

The Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Technician at Mary Bridge will provide advanced technical and patient-care support for diagnostic and interventional pediatric EP procedures, including intracardiac mapping, ablations, device implantation (pacemakers/ICDs), and EP studies in infants, children, adolescents, and adults with congenital heart disease. The role emphasizes family-centered care, radiation safety/ ALARA, and seamless coordination across the Mary Bridge Children’s Heart Center’s multidisciplinary team. Through providing support during diagnostic, therapeutic, and interventional procedures, you will be able to apply your independent decision-making skills every day. The tech serves in the scrub, circulator, and recording role. The tech acquires/ measures/ calculates hemodynamic data, performs blood work analysis, prepare procedure rooms, preps patients for procedures, transports patients to and from the lab, cleans procedure rooms, and prepares instruments for re-sterilization. The tech directs and practices safety guidelines for themselves, staff, and patients and adheres to regulatory practices within the cardiac cath/EP lab.
