Method of attaching electrode patches to an infant

摘要

A method of positioning electrodes on a patient for detecting a cardiac waveform and/or a respiratory waveform includes providing a plurality of electrodes having an upper and lower surface, the lower surface having electrically conductive properties suitable to detecting a cardiac and/or respiratory waveform and substantially no adhesive properties, and the upper surface being covered in part with a material having adhesive or affixative properties. A first electrode is placed under a garment worn by the patient in the region of the left lower abdomen/inguinal region, such that the adhesive surface thereof affixes to the underside of the garment. A second electrode is placed under a garment in the region of the right lower abdomen/inguinal region, such that the adhesive surface thereof affixes to the underside of the garment.

1. A method of positioning electrodes on a patient for detecting a cardiac waveform and/or a respiratory waveform, comprising the steps of:
a. providing a plurality of electrodes having an upper and lower surface,
i. said lower surface having electrically conductive properties suitable to detecting a cardiac and/or respiratory waveform,ii. said lower surface having substantially no adhesive properties, andiii. said upper surface being covered in part with a material having adhesive or affixative properties; b. placing a first electrode under a garment worn by the patient in the region of the left lower abdomen/inguinal region, such that the adhesive surface of said first electrode affixes to said garment; c. placing a second electrode under said garment worn in the region of the right lower abdomen/inguinal region, such that the adhesive surface of said electrode affixes to said garment; and d. wherein the lower surface of each electrode comprises a skin-contact surface that is brought into contact with the skin of the patient so as to be able to detect a cardiac waveform and/or a respiratory waveform.
