Special Considerations
When recording ECGs, you need to make special considerations for the following
situations:
• Recording ECGs of pacemaker patients
• Recording ECGs during defibrillation
Recording ECGs of Pacemaker Patients
Because of slow paper speed, pacer pulses cannot be displayed directly on the ECG
recording. For example, with a paper speed of 50 mm/s and a pulse duration of only
0.5 ms, the width of the recorded pacer pulse would be only 0.025 mm.
If Pace Enhance is enabled, the recorder reduces the pulse amplitude and expands
its width to make pacer pulses easier to identify. The system records the pulse with
the correct polarity, a width of 5 ms, and equal amplitude in all leads. Depending on
the polarity of the pacer pulse in leads I and II, the pacer pulse in lead III may be
