Patient Preparation<br />
Preparing the Skin<br />
Refer to the ÒResting ECG Lead Placement & Coding ChartÓ on pg. 5-3 for<br />
details on where sensor sites are located.<br />
NOTE: For information on alternate chest lead and other lead<br />
placements, see ÒAlternative Lead PlacementsÓ on pg. 5-7.<br />
If the patient has oily or sweaty skin, or has recently applied lotion to their skin,<br />
clean the sensor sites with alcohol. Allow the sensor sites to dry completely<br />
before applying sensors.<br />
When applying sensors to sites with a lot of hair, the following techniques may<br />
improve contact:<br />
1. Use the thumb and foreÞnger to spread the hair before applying<br />
the sensor to the skin.<br />
2. If the sensor does not adhere well, it may be necessary to shave<br />
the site.<br />
NOTE: In some cases skin irritation can occur from site<br />
preparation and sensor electrolyte solutions.<br />
Applying Sensors<br />
Apply sensors according to the instructions on the following pages. For<br />
information on using disposable sensors, see ÒDisposable Resting ECG<br />
SensorsÓ on pg. 5-4. For information on using reusable sensors, see ÒReusable<br />
ECG SensorsÓ on pg. 5-5.<br />
