Preparing the Patient
Preparing the Skin
Determine electrode placement according to one of the configurations
shown in this chapter. Use this procedure to insure good quality ECG
data.
CAUTION
ELECTRODES — Make sure that the electrodes
conducting elements do not make contact with each other
or other metal parts.
Make sure that the device is not subject to disturbances
from the electric mains.
Use only the specified electrodes for safety. Any other
electrode may not give proper recording and may cause
problems with the patient.
1. To minimize electrode problems, be sure to use the proper type of
electrode. Check the expiration date on any pregelled electrode
before using it. Also, check for dry gel pads on any pregelled
electrodes that have been left out of their foil package.
2. Shave hair from each electrode site. This improves conductivity,
helps hold the electrode to the skin, and makes the removal of the
electrode easier.
3. Rub each electrode site thoroughly with alcohol. This removes oil
from the skin.
