Abstract
Implanting Loop Recorders in a Hospital Unit versus the Electrophysiology Laboratory: A Retrospective Chart Review Marie-Paule M. Lafontant, EdD/CI, MSN, RN-BC; Valerie E. Smith, MSN, RN, MSHSA; Nohemi Sadule-Rios, PhD, APRN; Marsha Camille Lambert, MSN, APRN, RN-BC Introduction: Cardiac arrhythmias and unexplained syncopal episodes remain a challenge for clinicians to diagnose. The recent creation of the smallest Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR) assists in identifying the causes behind cardiac and neurological events. The current study aimed to compare the practice of implanting loop recorders at the bedside in the Cardiac and Vascular Care Unit (CVCU) to implantations in the Electrophysiology Laboratory
