Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Multi-modality cardiovascular testing — conduct EKG, phonocardiogram, and basic echocardiogram procedures routinely with minimal oversight in an outpatient cardiovascular lab.
  • Stress testing administration — set up and operate cardiac stress testing equipment according to physician orders and protocol, monitoring patient responses throughout the procedure.
  • Real-time EKG interpretation support — monitor EKG tracings during diagnostic procedures and flag arrhythmias or abnormal readings to the attending physician in a timely manner.
  • Patient history integration — obtain, review, and reconcile patient medical history with current test indications to ensure complete and accurate pre-procedure records.
  • Electrode and lead troubleshooting — identify and resolve common lead connectivity or artifact issues on EKG equipment with limited guidance during live patient procedures.
  • Blood pressure and heart rate surveillance — continuously track and document vital sign trends during therapeutic or diagnostic procedures, applying established alert thresholds.
  • Patient safety monitoring — assess and respond to changes in patient condition during cardiovascular tests, communicating concerns clearly to clinical staff in a hospital setting.
  • Equipment calibration and adjustment — independently adjust equipment controls and calibration settings to maintain signal quality across varying patient presentations.
  • Test result recording and reporting — compile, format, and submit complete cardiovascular test results to physicians using the department's reporting software within required turnaround times.
  • Time management across patient load — sequence and manage a scheduled caseload of cardiovascular tests efficiently to meet departmental throughput standards.
