PADECG User Manual                                                                         Preparations Before Operation - 15 - Chapter 3 Preparations Before Operation 3.1 Preparing the Patient 3.1.1 Instructing the Patient Before  attaching  the  electrodes,  greet  the  patient  and  explain  the  procedure.  Explaining  the procedure  decreases  the  patient’s  anxiety.  Reassure  the  patient  that  the  procedure  is  painless. Privacy is important for relaxation. When possible, prepare the patient in a quiet room or area where others can’t see the patient. Make sure that the  patient is comfortable. The more relaxed the patient is, the less the ECG will be affected by noise. 3.1.2 Cleaning the Skin Thorough  skin  preparation  is  very  important.  The  skin  is  a  poor  conductor  of  electricity  and frequently  creates  artifacts  that  distort  the  ECG  signals.  By  performing  methodical  skin preparation, you can greatly reduce the possibility of noise caused by muscle tremor and baseline drift, ensuring high-quality ECG waves. There is natural resistance on the skin surface due to dry, dead epidermal cells, oils and dirt. To clean the skin 1. Shave hair from electrode sites, if necessary. Excessive hair prevents a good connection. 2. Wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. 3. Dry the skin to increase capillary blood flow and to remove the dead, dry skin cells and oils. 4. Use the disposable frosting film in the standard accessory list to get good ECG waveform.   NOTE: Rub the skin with a gauze pad to increase capillary blood flow if you don’t operate the steps above. 3.2 Connecting the Patient Cable WARNING The  performance and  electric  shock  protection  can be  guaranteed  only  if  the  original patient cable and electrodes of the manufacturer are used.
