Competency information
Details
Inform the patient of the follow-up procedures and advise and inform them of the relevant information needed for their device type and functionality.
Considerations
- Appropriate follow-up setting and time period with understanding of relevant device-specific issues, such as MRHA alerts and advisories.
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. |
