Training activity information
Details
Adapt EEG procedures as appropriate to patient state and surroundings
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
- Patient centred care and support
- Electrode placement modification
- interhemispheric symmetry and interelectrode distance
- EEG duration depending on clinical status, history and EEG findings
- Use of medication
- Serial/continuous EEG
