  • 1.  EP Call

    Posted 09-25-2023 08:06

    Do EP physicians at your institutions take call? If so, is it general cardiology call or just EP call? Do the EP's come in to do temp pacing wires, or does that fall to the interventional team?

    Thanks,

    At my institution, EP physicians do take general call.  There have been discussion recently to re valuate this plan.  They take evening and weekend call.  The EP lab staff will stay late for cases but are not placed on call.  The interventional team will place the temp device in overnight hours as well as weekend.
