Top Tips From Cardiology Experts for Maintaining a Healthy Heart
Those who are considering a career in cardiac care
and who are exploring ways for broadening their skills, increasing the EKG technician salary , and expanding their employment opportunities are well-advised to think about pursuing telemetry certification . This credential is becoming increasingly important in the evaluation and management of heart disease patients and will allow applicants to stand out when competing for job openings.The term 'telemetry' is used to describe relatively new technology that allows for the wireless transmission of various types of data from a sensor to a receiver over long distances.
Telemetric equipment was first used by the defense department to improve communications between different branches of the military and by weather monitoring services to track seismic activity as well as other natural phenomena that could be harmful to society. Over the years, the application of this technology has expanded dramatically and is currently being used in many different commercial and private sectors including the healthcare system, oil exploration, and space travel. Although telemetry is most commonly used by the cardiovascular department to monitor patients who suffer from heart disease, it is sure to find additional applications as the technology continues to evolve.
Since telemetry is a noninvasive procedure and uses equipment similar to that of the electrocardiogram, most facilities delegate the task of getting patients set up for monitoring to the EKG technician. In order for the monitoring station to begin receiving data, sensors must be attached to the patient's chest and connected to a wireless transmitter.
Once this has been accomplished, the patient can be monitored by staff who work at the facility or by qualified professionals who monitor patients from a remote location that is situated somewhere in another state or country. These types of remote monitoring services are often referred to as virtual intensive care units because they do not work out of the facility where patients are receiving treatment. The outsourcing of certain aspects of patient monitoring has become a popular solution to the shortage of licensed nurses and physicians in the workforce.
