15.8 Monitoring Procedure
15.8.1 Preparation
The skin is a poor conductor of electricity; therefore preparation of the patient's skin is important
to facilitate good electrode contact to skin.
 Select sites with intact skin, without impairment of any kind.
 Shave hair from sites, if necessary.
 Wash sites thoroughly with soap and water. (Never use ether or pure alcohol, because this
increases skin impedance).
 Rub the skin briskly to increase capillary blood flow in the tissues and remove skin scurf and
grease.
15.8.2 Connecting ECG Cables
1. Attach clip or snap to electrodes prior to placement.
2. Put the electrodes on the patient. Before attaching, apply some conductive jelly on the
electrodes if the electrodes are not electrolyte self-supplied.
3. Connect the electrode lead to the patient's cable.
4. Plug the patient cable into the ECG connector.
CAUTION
To protect the telemetry transmitter from damage during defibrillation, for accurate ECG
information and to protect against noise and other interference, use only ECG electrodes
and cables specified by EDAN.
