For those of you who work monitored telemetry or stepdown areas: when your patients go for inpatient testing, are they transported with a monitor and accompanied by an ACLS qualified RN (or other person)? If not, do you have complete facility wiring so that the rhythm can be visualized en route and during the procedure? If a patient is removed from telemetry for a procedure (or even for showering) who makes that decision (and accepts liability for it)? The doctor? The nurse? A criteria list or decision tree? We're grappling with this issue right now and an idea of nursing standards (and comfort levels!) would really help. Thanks! :kiss
