Monitoring
ECG/
RESP
6.
Attach lead wires to the electrodes before applying them to the patient. Apply the electrodes
to the patient as shown.
7.
Plug the ECG cable into the ECG connector on the monitor's left side panel.
8.
Support the ECG cable so it does not stress the electrode wires, ECG cable connectors, or
electrodes.
9.
If an electrosurgical unit will be used, place the ECG cable and electrode wires as far as
possible from the surgical site and from the electrosurgical return electrode and its cables.
This minimizes interference.
Although the ECG channel contains electrosurgical interference suppression (ESIS) circuitry, noise
artifact may be displayed on the ECG trace while an electrosurgical device is in use. Choose electrode
placement to minimize interference.
10.
Look for an ECG waveform and heart rate on the monitor. Depending on how your monitor
is programmed, a beep tone may occur with each detected QRS.
If there is no waveform, check the electrodes, wires, cable, and the monitor for a possible
misconnection or lead fault.
