Patient Preparation
Preparing Patients for Exercise Stress Testing
Apply electrodes and lead wires before entering patient data into the Eclipse.
This allows time for the electrodes to adhere and improves conductivity.
1. Place limb leads where movement is not a factor (see Figure
5-7).
2. Vigorous skin preparation is essential for preventing artifact
during exercise stress testing:
4 Shave all hair from sensor sites
4 Cleanse sensor sites with alcohol
4 Use a Skin Rasp. Applying moderate pressure, stroke the
skin 2 or 3 times at each site with the rough side of the rasp.
3. As you apply sensors, press down on the outside foam area Þrst
to avoid squeezing the gel out.
4. After applying the sensors, follow the instructions on page 5-6,
ÒConnecting Cables and Lead WiresÓ.
