TELEMETRY MONITORING

Course overview

Telemetry monitoring (TM) refers to continuous cardiac monitoring in which cardiac electrodes are connected to a portable transmission device that transmits the EKG tracing to a distant cardiac monitor. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of TM including indications for and how to perform TM, and to aid in caring for the patient requiring this procedure. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
