Training activity information
Details
Analyse high-resolution oesophageal manometry studies, identifying normal motility
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
- Chicago classification
- Identification of artefacts
- Normal ranges
- Anatomy and physiology
- Pathophysiology
- Use of landmarks and markers
- Terminology
- Pattern recognition
- Manometric appearance of normal and common conditions
- Verifying results
- Limitations of types of analysis e.g., manual and automated
Relevant learning outcomes
| # | Outcome |
|---|---|
| # 2 |
Outcome
Identify the requirements for upper gastrointestinal investigations in a range of patients with different conditions, adapting the procedure to answer the specific question while taking the patients’ needs into account. |
| # 6 |
Outcome
Analyse and interpret data to produce preliminary reports for high-resolution oesophageal manometry and 24-hour ambulatory oesophageal pH monitoring, differentiating between artefact and physiological occurrences. |
| # 8 |
Outcome
Employ effective communication skills to ensure a positive patient experience and valid test results when conducting invasive investigations. |
