Training activity information
Details
Observe how a 12-lead ECG recording is modified to enhance the clinical information provided from a recording and reflect on the process
Type
Observational training activity (OTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.
Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.
Considerations
Considerations are suggestions about what may be useful for the trainee to think about while undertaking a training activity. They should not be considered as a mandatory checklist. Trainees should not be expected to demonstrate or provide evidence for each of the considerations listed.
- Consider the benefits of adapted 12-lead ECGs for some patients, for example patients presenting with Brugada syndrome, dextrocardia, posterior myocardial infarction, significant hypertrophy, or atrial arrhythmias
- Consider the potential use of a signal averaged ECG recording
- Consider the application of evidence-based practice
- Reflect on the requirements to deliver patient centred care and support
