Training activity information
Details
Prepare electrodes and other consumables for intraoperative neuromonitoring for spinal surgery. To include cases requiring:
- Lower limb somatosensory evoked potentials
- Upper limb somatosensory evoked potentials
- Lower limb motor evoked potentials
- Upper limb motor evoked potentials
- Upper limb free-run electromyography
- Lower limb free-run electromyography
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
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.
- Recording electrode types and characteristics
- Stimulating electrode types and characteristics
- Skin preparation agents
- Conductive agents
- COSHH
- Special precautions
- Risks and benefits of different electrode types
- Correct labelling of electrodes
