ELECTRODE INSTALLATION
Some points should be paid special attention in ECG monitoring
：
1. Check the lead and cable. Damaged or ruptured ones cannot be used.
2. Link up the lead set and cable, and connect the electrode to the lead.
3. Choose the suitable skin area on which the electrode should be pasted. Use alcohol
to clean the skin. Paste the electrode on the patient and check that they are well
connected.
4. The electrodes must be removed to check the skin every 24 hours. If the skin is found
to be inflamed or damaged evidently, put a new electrode in another position.
5. Make sure no conductive part of electrodes is in contact with the ground or other
conductive materials.
