To Prepare the Skin
Shave hair from electrode sites, if necessary. Excessive hair prevents a good connection.
Wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
Dry the skin with a gauze pad to increase capillary blood flow to the tissues and to remove the
dead, dry skin cells and oils.
3.3 Attaching Electrodes to the Patient
Two kinds of electrode can be used, one is the reusable electrode (including chest electrodes and
limb electrodes), and the other is the disposable electrode.
WARNING
1. Make sure that all electrodes are connected to the patient correctly before operation.
2. Ensure that the conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors, including
neutral electrodes, do not come in contact with earth or any other conducting objects.
NOTE:
The quality of ECG waveform will be affected by the contact resistance between
the patient and the electrode. In order to get a high-quality ECG, the
skin-electrode resistance must be minimized while connecting electrodes.
3.3.1 Electrode Placement
The electrodes’ positions on the body surface are shown in the following table and figure.
