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).
