7.3.1 Preparing the Patient’s Skin
Proper skin preparation is essential in obtaining an accurate ECG reading. Electrode sites
should be clean and dry and should provide a smooth flat surface. Incidental electrical
activity and inaccurate readings may arise from incorrect skin preparation.
The following procedure is recommended for secure electrode application:
1. Shave the chest hair from the electrode sites in a circular area with a diameter of 2 to
4 inches.
2. Use a dry gauze pad to remove excess skin oils, skin cells and residue from the elec-
trode sites. Never rub the skin until it is raw or bleeding.
NOTE
•
Prepare the electrode site with alcohol only if the skin is extremely greasy. If
alcohol is used as a drying agent, always allow the skin to dry before placing the
electrode on the skin.
