Training activity information
Details
Acquire and optimize pulsed and continuous wave Doppler traces and make measurements in accordance with the local and BSE protocol including use of a standalone CW probe.
Type
Entrustable training activity (ETA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion.
Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.
Considerations
- The application of pulsed and continuous wave Doppler and the limitations of each modality
- Optimisation
- Doppler traces: sweep speed, baseline, gain, and scale
