Preparing the Patient
This chapter provides the procedures for preparing the patient's skin and properly
placing electrodes.
NOTE:
These instructions do not cover the application of electrodes for the KISS Electrode
Application System (not available in the United States). To use the KISS system, see
the KISS operator’s manual for instructions.
Preparing the Patient’s Skin
Careful skin preparation is the key to an interference-free ECG. Signal quality is
indicated on the device via the Hookup Advisor indicator.
1.
Select the electrode placement sites for ECG monitoring or diagnosis per the
protocol specified by the hospital or physician.
Refer to
“Electrode Placement” on page 52
for diagrams and descriptions of
electrode placement for various protocols.
2.
Ensure that each site is dry, clean, and free of excessive hair.
NOTE:
Do not use solvents to clean the skin; solvents trapped under electrodes
may lead to abnormal skin reactions.
3.
To prepare for a stress test, do the following:
a.
Mark each electrode site with a felt tip pen.
b.
Degrease each site with a skin preparation cream.
c.
Use a mild abrasion to remove the mark left by the felt tip pen.
