Chapter
6 Acquiring ECG Reports
Acquiring and printing ECG reports with an Eclipse Plus or an Eclipse 850 is
quite simple. Once the patient is hooked up to the Eclipse, an ECG can be
acquired at any time by pressing the button.
ECG
It is a good idea to enter patient demographic information before performing
tests. However, patient demographic information also may be entered after the
tests have been completed.
NOTE: Some patient information directly affects ECG
analysis. Your patientÕs physician uses this information when
interpreting ECG reports. Likewise, interpretive Eclipse units
provide more accurate and complete analysis statements when
you enter patient information thoroughly. This information
must be entered prior to acquiring the ECG in order to affect the
interpretation.
Acquiring a Stat ECG
Sometimes it will be necessary to take an ECG and there will not be time to
enter any patient demographic information. If no patient ID is entered, Eclipse
units with storage will print Ò#STAT#Ó in the Patient ID Þeld, followed by the
date and time.
