6ECG, Arrhythmia, and ST

Monitoring

The electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart and displays it on the

monitor as a waveform and a numeric. This section also tells you about arrhythmia monitoring (see

page 107) and ST monitoring (see page 117).

Skin Preparation for Electrode Placement

Good electrode-to-skin contact is important for a good ECG signal, as the skin is a poor conductor of

electricity.

1 Select sites with intact skin, without impairment of any kind.

2 Clip or shave hair from sites as necessary.

3 Wash sites thoroughly with soap and water, leaving no soap residue.

We do not recommend using ether or pure alcohol, because this dries the skin and increases the

resistance.

4 Dry skin thoroughly.

5 Gently abrade the skin using ECG skin preparation paper to remove dead skin cells to improve the

conductivity of the electrode site.

Connecting ECG Cables

1 Attach the clips or snaps to the electrodes before placing them. If you are not using pre-gelled

electrodes, apply electrode gel to the electrodes before placement.

2 Place the electrodes on the patient according to the lead placement you have chosen.

3 Attach the electrode cable to the patient cable.

4 Plug the patient cable into the white ECG

connector on the measurement server. An ECG

waveform and numeric appears on the monitor

display.
