Training activity information
Details
Prepare the equipment and environment for ambulatory 24-hour pH/pH-impedance monitoring, including calibrating the catheter
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
- Equipment checks – faults recorded and rectified
- Default settings and sampling rate
- Potential for artefacts
- Troubleshooting
- Local infection prevention and control policies
- Manufacturer’s guidelines for calibration
- Normal values
- Pre-recording checks
