Applying Electrodes - The Basics
Applying Electrodes - The Basics
Careful application of the electrodes is a prerequisite for obtaining a
noise-free ECG. In exercise testing, careful preparation of the patient's
skin is a must (see “Preparing the Patient's Skin” on page 3-4).
For resting ECGs, use GE Healthcare’s electrode application system.
Use only the GE Healthcare-recommended electrodes and contact
agents.
The signal acquisition screen will show the applied electrodes and the
signal quality after the right-arm electrode has been applied. When the
right-arm electrode becomes detached, the system behaves as if all
electrodes were disconnected.
Observe the information given in sections “Recording ECGs of
Pacemaker Patients” on page B-6 and “Recording ECGs During
Defibrillation” on page B-7.
WARNING
Strangulation Hazard — Route cables and tubes away
from patient's throat to avoid possible strangulation.
