Preparing for ECG Recording: Electrode Application
Electrode Application
&$87,21
PATIENT HAZARD, Delayed ECG Display — Use only
silver-silver chloride electrodes when recording the ECG
of a patient who may have to be defibrillated. (Refer to
Chapter 9, “ECG Recording During Defibrillation”
section for details.)
Careful application of electrodes is the key to an interference-free ECG.
For quick, reliable and trouble-free application of electrodes, we
recommend using our electrode application system KISS.
Otherwise, use the plate electrodes on the limbs and the suction
electrodes on the thorax.
Applying Plate Electrodes (Limbs)
Plate electrodes are applied by means of a rubber strap, and electrode
paper is the recommended contact medium.
Moisten the electrode paper with tap water and place it between skin
and electrode.
Secure the electrode with the rubber strap (see figure below), but do
not hinder blood circulation.
Applying the Plate Electrodes
Applying Suction Electrodes (Chest)
Shave application points, if necessary.
Moisten the electrode paper with tap water and place it between skin
and electrode. Electrode cream or gel can be used instead of paper. On
hairy chests, the cream or gel improves adhesion of the electrodes.
