Best Answer

Eeach electrode connected to the patient is attached to the lead selector of ECG.This will determine which electrodes are necessary for a particular lead and will connect them to the remainder of the circuit. It can be controlled by the operator or by the microcomputer of the electrocardiograph. It selects one or more leads to be recorded.

How do you calibrate an ecg machine?

Most ECG machines calibrate themselves when they are turned on. Older or cheaper models they may need prompting, each is different but the user manual should explain it. Calibration is usually set to 1mV = 10 small squares. This can be manually adjusted if the patient has an unusually large QRS complex. Hope this helps

There are two ways to determine death in a human being; the cardinal signs method or the clinical method.The three cardinal signs of death are decapitation, decomposition and rigor mortis. Any one present with these signs meet the cardinal sign of death and are pronounced dead immediately.Alternative, to pronounce someone clinically dead, the following factors must be met:- A 3 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is taken showing asystole.- There is no breathing over one full minute.- The pupils are dilated, unreactive and fully unresponsive.- The patient feels cold and there is an absence of spontaneous circulation.- There is no movement.- Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of three.
