Hybrid Operating Room Workflow & Staffing

Staffing of Hybrid Surgical Suites:

Below you will find information describing different health care professionals that may be involved in the course of care during a hybrid surgical procedure:

Primary Care Physician — May be the first to identify the symptoms of heart valve disease or other conditions that can cause heart valve disease or defects. He or she may order special tests to confirm the diagnosis or refer you to the appropriate specialist.

Cardiologist  — The physician who specializes in diseases of the heart. The Cardiologist does not perform heart surgery but often performs diagnostic tests to identify the cause of heart problems and determine the course of treatment to manage heart disease. The Cardiologist may prescribe medications and/or refer you to a Cardiovascular Surgeon. 

TAVR Coordinator  — Coordinator for the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Program (TAVR Coordinator). He/She is available to patients and their family members as a resource throughout their testing and procedure. 

Interventional Cardiologist  — A cardiologist who specializes in minimally-invasive, non-surgical methods of treating heart and vascular disease. During the hybrid procedures, such as the TAVR procedure, Interventional Cardiologists lead the Heart Team in performing life saving procedures.

Cardiovascular Surgeon — The physician who specializes in heart surgery, including the repair or replacement of heart valves. 

Anesthesiologist — The Anesthesiologist is trained to provide sedation or general anesthesia (sleep) during surgical procedures.

Critical Care Physicians and Nurses — The critical care or intensive care unit in a hospital is a specialized area where you are closely monitored and treated following cardiovascular surgery. The critical care team manages your care during this time.
