Chapter11 ECG Monitoring
11.1 Definition of ECG Monitoring
ECG monitoring describes continuous waveforms of cardiac activities of patients so as to
accurately assess the current psychological status of the patients. Thus proper connection of ECG
cables must be ensured in order to obtain correct measurement values. This portable monitor
concurrently can display 2 waveforms under normal work status.
A patient cable consists of two parts:
Wire connecting the monitor;
Leads connecting patients
With a 3-lead facility for monitoring, ECG can obtain two waveforms from two different
leads. Users can use the knob, in the left side of the ECG waveforms on the screen, to
directly select the lead to be monitored.
Displayed monitoring parameters include HR, ST segment measurement value and
arrhythmia.
All the above parameters can be taken as alarm parameters.
Caution
In the ex-factory setting of the monitor the ECG waveform displays at the position of
the first two waveforms in the waveform area.
11.2 Attentions during ECG Monitoring
Warning
Don’t touch patients, tables or the equipment during defibrillation.
Warning
The ECG cable used for ECG signal monitoring by this portable monitor must be
provided by our Company.
Warning
When connecting electrodes or patient cables, users should ensure there is no
connection with other electric conductive parts or the ground, and more importantly,
