Training activity information
Details
Analyse and interpret pH-impedance studies for patients with atypical reflux symptoms
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
- Limitations of the study
- Local, national and international guidelines and standards
- Pathophysiology
- Patient history and referrals
- Physiological data and symptom association metrics
- Effects of pathology on physiological data
- Documentation
- Basic pH-impedance interpretation
