Non-theatre – Core Learning Outcomes
* To safely undertake the intra-hospital transfer of the stable critically ill adult patient for diagnostic imaging
* To understand the risks for the patient of having procedures in these sites
* To understand the responsibilities as a user/prescriber of diagnostic imaging services
Core clinical learning outcomes:
* Can maintain anaesthesia for stable critically ill adult patients requiring diagnostic imaging under distant supervision [in conjunction with their transfer as indentified in Transfer Medicine]
Knowledge

- DI_BK_03 Explains the general safety precautions and equipment requirements in specific environments e.g. MRI suites
- DI_BK_04 Recalls/describes the specific anaesthetic implications of imaging techniques including but not limited to:
- * MRI scanning
- * CT scanning
- * Angiography
- DI_BK_05 Recalls/explains the implications of exposing the pregnant or potentially pregnant patient to ionising radiation
