7.3.2 Placing Electrode
1. Preparation before electrode placement
1) Skin preparation (refers to Chapter 7.3.1);
2) Check if the buttons on the electrodes are clean and free of damage;
3) Place the electrodes on the body of patient. Before attaching, smear some
conducting cream on the electrodes if the electrodes are not electrolyte
self-supplied;
4) Connect the cable leads to the electrodes through the buttons of the
electrodes.
Note:
For patients who tremble a lot or patients with especially weak ECG
signals, it might be difficult to extract the ECG signals, and it is even
more difficult to conduct HR count. For severely burnt patients, it may
be impossible to stick the electrodes on and it may be necessary to use
the special pin-shape electrodes. In case of bad signals, care should be
taken to place the electrodes on the soft portions of the muscle.
Check the irritation caused by each electrode to the skin, and in case
of any inflammations or allergies, the electrodes should be replaced
and the user should relocate the electrodes every 24h or at a shorter
interval.
When the electrotome operation is performed, the ECG leadwires
should be intertwisted as much as possible. The monitor should be
placed far from the operating table. Power wires and the ECG lead
cables should be partitioned and should not be in parallel.
