Competency information
Details
Perform and record all visual electrophysiology tests, to include:
- ERGs
- EOG
- VEPs
Considerations
- Personal role, responsibilities and level of competence for performing investigations
- Aetiology, progression and management
- Relevant protocols and procedures and their application
- Normal waveforms
- The effect of patient age, sex and race,
- The nature and limitation of normative data
- Relevant international and national recommendations for performance of electrophysiological investigations in addition to local protocols
- The likely electrophysiological consequences of the clinical condition being investigated
- How to review and change the plan of investigation as necessary during the course of the procedures, and the importance of doing so
