Training activity information
Details
Analyse and interpret the results of a lower limb arterial ultrasound scans for:
- Acute occlusion
- Chronic disease/occlusion
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
- Local SOPs and national guidance
- Determining disease severity
- Arterial pathology and ultrasound characteristics
- Effects of arterial disease on arterial haemodynamics
- Aging disease and treatment options
- Stents
- Limitations of the scan or protocol
- Consequences of misdiagnosis
- Acting on urgent findings
- Scope of personal and professional practice
- Multidisciplinary working and pathways
