Rx for ECG monitoring artifact.
نویسنده
چکیده
The object of electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring is the observation and assessment of the heart's electrical activity. Cardiac monitoring has become extremely commonplace in recent years in critical care and ambulatory settings. Electronic advancements have produced instrumentation with the potential of providing accurate information and reliable heart rate alarms. Computerized monitors enhance patient assessment by allowing uninterrupted electronic observation of heart rate and ectopic activity with comprehensive automatic reporting mechanisms. Despite these improvements in instrumentation, monitoring systems continue to be plagued by problems related to poor signals. Wandering baselines, small complexes, fuzzy tracings, and frequent electrode replacement make patient assessment difficult and induce false heart rate alarms. Improvement in electrode preparation techniques and a better understanding of the sources of artifact can enhance equipment performance, resulting in improved patient assessment, more effective utilization of nursing time, and reduced operating costs. This article discusses the physiologic and non-physiologic sources of ECG monitoring artifact and presents a method of electrode site preparation to reduce artifact.

Removing ECG Artifact from the Surface EMG Signal Using Adaptive Subtraction Technique
Background: The electrocardiogram artifact is a major contamination in the electromyogram signals when electromyogram signal is recorded from upper trunk muscles and because of that the contaminated electromyogram is not useful.Objective: Removing electrocardiogram contamination from electromyogram signals.Methods: In this paper, the clean electromyogram signal, electrocardiogram artifact and e...
متن کاملBayesian Artifact Reduction on Ecg Acquired during Mri
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is required during Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for two reasons, patient monitoring and MRI sequence synchronization for cardiovascular imaging. The MRI environment severely distorts ECG signals. The Magnetic Field Gradients (MFG) especially induce artifacts, which make ECG analysis during MRI acquisition challenging. Specific signal processing is thus required. An M...

متن کاملMethods for Ambulatory Arrhythmia Monitoring A Comparison Study of Holter Monitor and Chest Strap ECG A Prospective Pilot Study
Background Cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF), are a common cause for seeking medical care. AF has many causes; where valvular disease, hypertension, heart failure and diabetes mellitus are among the most common ones. The golden standard for arrhythmia monitoring is a 24or 48-hours Holter monitor. The aim with this paper was to compare the Holter monitor with chest strap EC...
