Skin Prep
Always follow good skin prep techniques for every patient. Proper skin prep helps to ensure a good quality ECG. Skin is a poor conductor of electricity and frequently creates artifact that distorts the ECG signal.
To prepare the skin for an ECG:
123
Clip hair from electrode sites if necessary. Excessive hair prevents a good connection.
Wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water.
Dry the skin vigorously to increase capillary blood flow to the tissues and to remove the dead, dry skin cells and oil.
Do not use alcohol to clean the skin because it dries the skin. If there is no time, rub the electrode sites with gauze to remove the dead, dry skin and to increase capillary flow (adult patients only).

Touch the Map button to check for any loose or inoperative electrodes or lead wires. A red mark identifies the location of a bad electrode or lead connection.
Good connection; when all leads are of good quality and all required patient information is entered, the ECG button is lit. Take the ECG.
Moderate noise level, artifact, electrode interference, or a poor electrode connection
Severe artifact, electrical interference, or a poor electrode connection One or more limb leads are disconnected (chest leads display orange)
Loose electrode connection ECG waveform data that cannot be analyzed
Dry gel on electrode Inadequate patient preparation Electrical interference from another device Moderate patient movement, tense patient
Electrical interference from another device Patient tremors, shivering patient, inadequate patient preparation Very poor electrode contact, dry electrodes Limb lead(s) are disconnected
Inoperative electrode, electrode that has fallen off of the patient Defibrillation has been performed too recently to take ECG measurements Other cause that renders waveform data useless

Signal Quality Troubleshooting
Possible CauseWaveform Solution
Wandering Baseline
Somatic Tremors
AC Interference
Inadequate patient preparation
Moderate patient movement
Very poor electrode contact
Patient respiratory interference
Patient is cold and shivering
Patient has tremors
Electrical interference from another device (IV pump, microwave oven, cellular phone, wireless device)
An electrical device near the cardiograph that is improperly grounded
Reassure the patient and make sure that the patient is comfortable. If the patient has tremors, attach the limb electrodes higher on the patient (closer to torso).
Ensure that the lead wires are not pulling on the electrodes and that the electrodes are firmly attached.
Turn on the Baseline Wander filter.
Place a blanket on the patient to warm the patient.
Assist with limiting patient movement.
Check for devices that could be causing electrical interference. Unplug the devices or switch to battery power.
Lay the lead wires alongside the limbs and away from any electrical devices.
Turn on the AC filter.
