The Pediatric Hybrid Cath Lab at Tulane Medical Center was, at the time of completion, one of only about nine such installations in the United States.  The Hybrid Cath Lab enables both catheterization and surgical procedures to be performed at the same time and in the same place. This innovation enhances efficiency of scheduling, as well as patient well-being, by eliminating extra handling, time and transport from procedure room to surgery suite. A Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Room was redesigned and renovated for this new purpose.
