Overview
The principles of physiological monitoring of cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological status, imaging, and the interpretation of physiological data.
Physiological Monitoring for Medical Technicians is the second paper in this qualification, and aims to give students a deep understanding of the diagnostic accuracy and error that underlies the practice of physiology monitoring. This course will cover cardiac, sleep, respiratory and renal technologies.
