 To prevent the patient being burned by the neutral electrode, you
must comply with the following conditions:

Select the application point for the neutral electrode so
that the current paths between the active and neutral
electrodes are as short as possible and run longitudinally
or diagonally to the patient's body (because muscles are
more conductive in the direction of the fibrils).


During surgery in the thoracic region, do not run the
current path transversely across the patient's body and
ensure that the patient's heart is never in the path of the
current.

Depending on the surgical site, apply the neutral
electrode to the nearest upper arm or thigh if possible,
but never closer than 20 cm.

In the case of self-adhesive disposable electrodes,
comply with any further manufacturer specifications
regarding the point of application.

Ensure that the application point is free of scar tissue,
bony protuberances, surface hair and ECG electrodes.

Ensure that there are no implants (e.g. bone nails, bone
plates, endoprostheses) in the current path.

Ensure that no short circuits can occur at the neutral
electrode connection.

Avoid sites where liquids can collect.
