Preparing the Patient

2-2 Revision 0.1

1Preparing the Patient

For electrode placement, refer to the following diagram:

Figure 2-1

Proper patient preparation and electrode placement are the most important elements

in producing a high quality ECG trace.

Prepare the patient by performing the following steps:

1. Reassure and relax the patient. A calm and quiet patient produces the best ECG.

2. Make sure the electrode site is not covered by hair or clothing.

3. Gently clean and abrade the surface of the skin with dry gauze.

4. Place electrodes on patient. See the following notes about the type of electrodes.

5. The upper-left corner of the screen displays the electrodes that are not placed

firmly on the patient, and/or the lead wires that are not attached securely to the

electrodes. (See Table 2-1.) This is an indication of “leads off”. Correct the

attachment of any lead/electrode pair that appears on the screen.
