2023
Overview
IntroductionTo describe ANP role within current CTCA service, including administering beta-blockade, and future progression to ANP-led CTCA listsMethodsOur CTCA service started in 2015 with a Cardiologist/Radiologist, 2 radiographers and 1 ANP per list, and expanded with updated stable chest pain NICE guideline (CG95) 2016. At CTCA the ANP administers rate control up to a total of 50mg IV Metoprolol and GTN. We formally agreed a betablockade protocol and referrals detail drug suitability. The ANP has access to patient notes and collaborative decision-making support within the team. The ANP must have Advanced Life Support Provider qualification to support lists. The ANP role also includes history taking, diagnosis and treatment of patients with potential cardiac disease including patients with chest pain. ANPs request investigations and prescribe pre-procedural rate control medication. ANPs interpret reported findings and commence appropriate treatment. Satisfaction questionnaires were obtained from patients alongside regular audit of CTCA service. Standardisation of the service was met with clear pharmaceutical protocols and referral guidelines.ResultsData from local audit has highlighted positive CTCA outcomes and high level of patient satisfaction. This supported expansion of the service, including team, lists and advancing technologies. The ANP-led service has freed up consultant time for reporting.ConclusionANP-led patient care and drug administration at CTCA improves continuity of care for patients, provides efficient team structure for supporting cardiac imaging and facilitates consultant reporting time. Fully ANP-led lists with our new scanners in 2024 should reduce ongoing service costs and further increase consultant reporting time.
