7.3 Preparing to Monitor ECG
7.3.1 Preparing the Patient and Placing the Electrodes
1. Prepare the patient’s skin. Proper skin preparation is necessary for good signal quality at
the electrode, as the skin is a poor conductor of electricity. To properly prepare the skin,
choose flat, non-muscular areas and then follow this procedure:
‹ Shave hair from skin at chosen sites.
‹ Gently rub skin surface at sites to remove dead skin cells.
‹
Thoroughly cleanse the site with a mild soap and water solution. We do not
recommend using ether or pure alcohol, because this dries the skin and increases
the resistance.
‹
Dry the skin completely before applying the electrodes.
2. Attach the clips or snaps to the electrodes before placing them.
3. Place the electrodes on the patient.
4. Attach the electrode cable to the patient cable and then plug the patient cable into the
ECG connector on the MPM.
