Hi everyone,
I'm now working out the snags of doing vestibular testing. I'm doing Dix
Hallpike with video recording, rotary chair, videonystagmography. Someone today
as I was practicing on them gave me the idea of first doing a "test" of the
communication by having them count to 10 and I count to 10 with the rotary chair
door closed before I even start with anything, to make sure they are
transmitting via my FM and that they can hear me via the intercom microphone. I
was also just thinking that I might try to make the topic of conversation with
the rotary chair when I'm trying to task during tests requiring tasking
something very narrow so I have the context to help me out.
Any other tricks people have up their sleeve that they use? I know it'll get
easier as I get more and more familiar with the protocal as just knowing what
buttons to push won't take up as much of my attention and I can devote more of
my attention to hearing my patients.
