What is the functionality of the electrodes attached to the lead wires inserted during pacemaker implant surgery?
Current pacemakers have a double, or bipolar, electrode attached to the end of each lead.
What is the lead selector switch on a ECG machine?
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. Source:John.G.Webster
What metal is used to make the electrodes in automobile batteries?
lead
What is used in electrodes in car batteries?
In traditional "lead-acid" batteries, the electrodes are lead and lead (IV) oxide. During discharge, both electrodes dissolve in the strong acid electrolyte to form dissolved lead (II) cations. During recharge, these reactions are reversed. Other battery types, with a longer rechargeable life are used for hybrid electric-gasoline cars.
Which group 4A element is used in electrodes in car batteries?
Lead
The lead-acid consist of primarily two electrodes namely?
The Anode and the Cathode.
When the lead acid battery produces electricity both electrodes become coated with solid what?
They become coated with lead sulfate.
What are the 3 pacemaker of the heart?
The three components of a pacemaker are the pulse generator, pacing lead and the programmer. The pulse generator is like the brain of the heart. It controls everything.The pacing lead stimulates the heart to beat. The programmer enables the physician to evaluate the pacemaker's performance and change settings without surgery.
What is the proper placement of EKG electrodes during cardiac angiography?
please display a diagram of lead placement
What is produced as a lead-acid battery is discharged?
When a lead acid battery becomes discharged both electrodes undergo chemical changes to form lead sulphate and eventually the battery dies.
What is therapeutic phlebotomy?
Therapeutic phlebotomy is the removal of blood from the patient to help with certain diseases. Some diseases cause the over production of blood in the patient that can lead to discomfort and harm. To alleviate the problem the patient will go to a facility to have some of the blood removed.
How many leads in ECG?
LeadsThe term "lead" in electrocardiography causes much confusion because it is used to refer to two different things Limb leadsUnipolar vs. bipolar leadsPrecordial leadsClinical lead groups
