Preparing for ECG Recording: Electrode Application
Applying Plate (Limb) Electrodes
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, but do not hinder blood
circulation.
Applying Limb-Lead Electrodes
&$87,21
Use only silver-silver chloride electrodes, if the patient
may have to be defibrillated. (See
“ECG Recording
During Defibrillation” on page 8-4 for details.)
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.
