Monitoring ECG
This chapter describes how to use the Propaq MD unit to monitor ECG.
Propaq MD units can perform ECG monitoring through 3-, 5-, or 12-lead ECG patient cables,
Multi-Function Pads, or standard defibrillation paddles. The use of an ECG patient cable and
electrodes is required, however, to monitor ECG during pacing.
OneStep cables and electrodes cannot be used for ECG monitoring.
You can use a 3-lead, 5-lead, or 12-Lead wire configuration for ECG monitoring (see Chapter
14, “12-Lead ECG Interpretive Analysis” for more information on 12-lead monitoring).
Warning!
•
Excessive body hair or wet, sweaty skin may interfere with electrode adhesion.
Remove the hair and/or moisture from the area where the electrode is to be attached.
•
Use only electrodes that are well within the expiration date indicated on the package.
•
Remove ECG electrodes from their sealed package immediately prior to use. Using
previously opened or out-of- date electrodes may degrade the ECG signal quality.
•
Monitoring electrodes may become polarized during defibrillator discharge, causing
the ECG waveform to briefly go off screen. ZOLL Medical Corporation recommends
the use of high quality silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes to minimize this
effect; the circuitry in the instrument returns the trace to the monitor display within
a few seconds.
•
To assure protection against the effects of defibrillator discharge, use only
ZOLL-approved accessories.
