An ECG is obtained from a patient with a few (Possibly 6 or 8) Sticky pads, that are connected to the wires, connected to the ECG itsself, that are stuck onto the body in different places. These can read the heartrate and record it onto the ECG monitor and they will be printed off by a special printer.

What are the clinical manifestations of hypokalemia?
Profound weak is the clinical manifestation of hypokalemia. Normally you have history of vomiting and diarrhoea or use of diauretics or starvetion.
