ECG Monitoring: ECG Tab Sheet
Lead Analysis
The Lead Analysis control signals the ApexPro transmitter to process the
ECG in Single Lead or Multi-Lead mode. Use the mouse to click on your
selection. Multi-lead analysis is the default setting for adults.
Multi-Lead Analysis
Multi-lead analysis simultaneously examines ECG leads I, II, III, and V
(whether they are displayed or not) to help eliminate false alarms and
improve the ability of the system to:
 Detect beats which occur isoelectric to a single chest lead.
 Discriminate artifact that appears in one lead compared to the other
lead vectors.
 Provide a “smart-lead fail” feature, where the failed lead is identified,
and if available, another lead is provided for display.
 Continue arrhythmia processing even after a lead change.
Single Lead Analysis
Single lead analysis uses only the lead displayed on the clinical
information center screen to process ECG and arrhythmia information.
To change the lead used for single lead analysis, you must change the
displayed lead.
Single lead analysis is beneficial when troubleshooting pacemaker
detection and/or arrhythmia detection. Single lead analysis must always
be used when monitoring with a 3-lead cable. Single lead analysis can be
set up as a unit default. Refer to Chapter 6, Telemetry Setup, for more
information.
