Training activity information
Details
Review and report ultrasound finding with subclavian steal phenomenon
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
- Subclavian artery origin
- Vertebral artery for retrograde flow
- Comparison of bilateral brachial pressure
- Limitations of the scan or protocol
- Communication skills
- Acting on urgent findings
- Patient pathways
- Multidisciplinary team working
