Fig.6-2 Indicative map of the placement of ECG electrodes
ECG Lead Connection Recommended for Surgery
Warning
When using the electrosurgical (ES) equipment, the ECG electrode should be placed
in the middle between the ES grounding plate and the electrosurgical knife to avoid
burns. The cable for the electrosurgical equipment should not be entangled with the
ECG cable.
The placement of ECG leads depends on the type of operation performed.
Warning
When using the electrical surgical (ES) equipment, the electrode must not be placed
on the ground plate near the surgical electrical equipment, otherwise there could be
interference with the ECG signal.
Characteristics of a good signal:
•
Narrow without interference.
•
The R wave is tall and completely above or below the baseline.
