Final answer:
In a CIED patient undergoing surgery, anesthesia technicians should set up ECG monitoring, ensure availability of magnets and defibrillation equipment, but offering to assist with magnet placement is not typically part of their duties.
Step-by-step explanation:
When care is being provided for the CIED patient undergoing surgery, the anesthesia technician or technologist should do all of the following except offer to assist with magnet placement as part of placing monitors on the patient. This specific task may not be within their scope of practice or may require specific expertise that is typically the responsibility of an anesthesia provider or electrophysiology staff. Setting up the ECG monitor to detect pacing activity ("spikes"), ensuring that a magnet and temporary pacing and defibrillation equipment are readily available, are all important tasks that support patient safety.
However the action that the anesthesia technician or technologist does not need to do is D) Offer to assist with magnet placement as part of placing monitors on the patient. It's important to recognize that the anesthesia provider might choose to manage the patient's CIED differently, which could include not making any changes (E) Anticipate that an anesthesia provider might choose not to make any changes in a patient's management as a result of their CIED).
