- Principles, guidance and law with respect to informed consent.
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. |
