Several devices monitor a patient during a catheter ablation, including:
- an electrocardiogram or EKG, which tracks the heart’s electrical impulses;
- a mapping system, which pinpoints the area of the heart causing the arrhythmia;
- an oximeter, which clips onto the patient’s finger to monitor the blood’s oxygen level;
- a fluoroscopy, a large x-ray device that allows physicians to visualize the catheter throughout the ablation;
- an intracardiac ultrasound, which shows images of the heart’s interior.
