15.4 Monitoring Procedure
Good sensor-to-skin contact is important for a good ICG signal, as the skin is
a poor conductor of electricity. It is necessary to clean the patient’s skin for
sensors placement, as the following steps:
1. Select sites with intact skin, without impairment of any kind.
2. Clip or shave hair from sites as necessary.
3. Gently abrade the skin and remove dead skin cells to improve the
conductivity of the sensor site.
4. Wash sites thoroughly with soap and water, leaving no soap residue. We do
not recommend using ether or pure alcohol, because this dries the skin and
increases the resistance.
15.4.2 Connecting ICG Cable
Plug the ICG cable into the connector on the ICG module.
15.4.3 Placing Sensor on Patient
In order to get good signals and accurate data, it is important to place ICG
sensors on appropriate position, shown as follows:
1. A pair of sensors shall be placed below the earlobe on each side of the neck.
