Q & A

What is the purpose of the video demonstration?

The video demonstrates how to perform an international standard EKG recording, including the equipment setup, electrode placement, and patient interaction during the procedure.

What equipment is required for performing an EKG as shown in the script?

The required equipment includes an EKG machine (Philips TC10), electrodes for extremities and chest, cleaning tissues, jelly, gauze, and a waste disposal container.

How are the electrodes placed on the patient?

Electrodes are placed on the patient's extremities (arms and legs) and chest. There are 4 electrodes for the extremities and 6 electrodes for the chest area, specifically in designated locations like the first and second intercostal spaces and along the parasternal line.

What are the roles of the different electrode colors and codes?

The electrodes have specific color and code designations: red (R) for the right hand, yellow (L) for the left hand, green (LF) for the left leg, and black (N) for the right leg. These designations help ensure correct placement for accurate readings.

What precautions are taken to ensure the EKG procedure is smooth?

Before starting, the script emphasizes cleaning the skin, ensuring all electrodes are properly connected, checking for signal strength on the machine, and communicating with the patient to ensure comfort and cooperation.

How does the EKG machine guide the technician during electrode placement?

The EKG machine, like the Philips model shown, provides feedback on the electrode placement, indicating whether any electrode is not properly connected via color-coded signals on the screen, making it easier for the technician to troubleshoot and ensure correct connections.

What steps are involved in preparing the patient for the EKG?

The technician introduces themselves to the patient, explains the procedure, reassures the patient about its non-invasive nature, and obtains consent. The technician also ensures the patient’s comfort during the process by offering privacy and instructing them to remain still.

What should the technician do if the machine signals a poor connection during the procedure?

If the machine signals a poor connection, the technician should check and adjust the electrodes, ensuring they are properly attached to the correct locations and securely in place, as indicated by the machine's feedback.

What information does the technician input into the EKG machine before starting the recording?

Before starting the recording, the technician inputs the patient's medical record number, name, gender, date of birth, and other necessary details into the EKG machine for identification purposes.

What happens after the EKG recording is completed?

After the EKG is completed, the technician removes and cleans the electrodes, ensures all materials are disposed of properly, and informs the patient that the results will be reviewed by the doctor for further analysis.
