Try to minimize patient motion.
• If the patient is being transported, stop
the vehicle if needed.
• Check for possible causes of radio and
electrical interference and remove
them from the area.
• Responders and bystanders should
minimize motion, particularly in dry
environments that can generate static
electricity.
