Competency information
Details
Complete relevant documentation in line with national and local policies and produce a clear written report of the procedure.
Considerations
- Requirements for content and format of reports for disorders of cardiac rhythm.
- National and local policies for implantable devices.
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. |
