It stands for Electrocardiogram. It is a diagnostic medical test where electrodes are stuck to a person's chest, wrists, ankles and sides. The device monitors the electrical activity of the heart as it beats. It also monitors the blood flow through the body.

How do EKG machine leads work?

EKG machine leads are electrodes attached to the patient's skin to measure the electrical signals produced by the heart.

Sweat and lotion on the patient's skin can create a barrier that interferes with the electrical conduction needed for accurate readings on the EKG machine. This interference may lead to inaccuracies in the EKG results, affecting the interpretation of the patient's heart activity. It's important to clean and prep the skin properly before attaching the electrodes to ensure reliable EKG readings.
