Check electrodes/leads Report Repeat because mechanical issue- tell pt.
why

Not on bones –reduces movement Use fleshy part

Outside electricity TV’s Radio Power cords Medical equipment Outside the building
Shut of all unnecessary electricity!Ground machine- 3 prong - reduce artifact and possible
shock

1. Tremors2. Nerves- reassure, if need to redo EKG b/c
machine issues- tell pt.3. Make sure sensors are attached

Not enough gel Electrodes lose Lotion? Dirty electrodes?
