Training activity information

Details

Perform quality assurance of the doppler modes on a vascular system

Type

Developmental training activity (DTA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee​.

Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.

An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.

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.

  • Doppler phantom selection
  • Common clinical measurements and normal ranges
  • Doppler penetration
  • Doppler noise
  • Measurement of % error in doppler measurements
  • Intrinsic spectral broadening
