Competency information
Details
Review the results from each test, taking into account artefacts, necessary adjustments of values and planned/unplanned events occurring during the test.
Considerations
- Identification of common artefacts.
- The effect and implications of artefacts on the procedure results and the actions needed to rectify them.
Relevant learning outcomes
| # | Outcome |
|---|---|
| # 1 | Outcome Perform and interpret procedures to assess implanted cardiac devices and, using appropriate algorithms, program and optimise the device to monitor or provide treatment appropriate to patients with single chamber bradycardia, recognising the clinical signs and symptoms of device complications. |
| # 2 | Outcome Perform and interpret procedures to assess implanted cardiac devices and, using appropriate algorithms, program and optimise the device to monitor or provide treatment appropriate to patients with single chamber tachycardia, recognising the clinical signs and symptoms of device complications. |
| # 3 | Outcome Perform and interpret procedures to assess implanted cardiac devices and, using appropriate algorithms, program and optimise the device to monitor or provide treatment appropriate to patients with dual chamber bradycardia, recognising the clinical signs and symptoms of device complications. |
| # 4 | Outcome Perform and interpret procedures to assess implanted cardiac devices and, using appropriate algorithms, program and optimise the device to monitor or provide treatment appropriate to patients with dual chamber tachycardia, recognising the clinical signs and symptoms of device complications. |
| # 5 | Outcome Perform and interpret procedures to assess implanted cardiac devices and, using appropriate algorithms, program and optimise the device to monitor or provide treatment appropriate to patients with CRT-P (cardiac resynchronization therapy with pacemaker), recognising the clinical signs and symptoms of device complications. |
| # 6 | Outcome Perform and interpret procedures to assess implanted cardiac devices and, using appropriate algorithms, program and optimise the device to monitor or provide treatment appropriate to patients with CRT-D (cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator function) recognising the clinical signs and symptoms of device complications. |
| # 7 | Outcome Perform long-term follow-up procedures for patients with implanted cardiac devices, ensuring the safe and effective functioning of each device and highlighting devices that may need replacement. |
