They observe data from electrocardiogram (EKG) monitors and alert nurses or doctors if they detect abnormal heart patterns. Telemetry Techs play a crucial role in hospitals, especially in cardiac units, by ensuring timely interventions in case of cardiac irregularities. Their duties also include setting up monitoring equipment, documenting readings, and maintaining patient records to support the medical team.
