Physically, yes they can. However it is a dangerous practice and often lethal. As can be witnessed by use of the electric chair for carrying out sentences of capital punishment.

Do electrodes provide moisture and aid in conduction?

Electrodes do not provide moisture themselves, but they can help conduct electrical impulses through the skin if they are wet or have a conductive gel applied to them. Moisture can improve the connection between the skin and the electrodes, allowing for better conductivity and more accurate readings.


How are electrodes applied in ECT?

The electrodes may be placed on both sides of the head (bilateral) or one side (unilateral)


Why are electrodes applied to the fleshy part of limbs?

How should the electrodes be turned when placed on the body?

When placing electrodes on the body, they should typically be oriented according to the specific type of monitoring or therapy being performed. For ECG electrodes, for instance, they should be positioned in a standardized manner to ensure accurate readings, with the positive and negative leads placed correctly. Generally, electrodes should be applied with the adhesive side facing the skin, and care should be taken to avoid twisting or misaligning them, as this can affect signal quality. Always follow the specific guidelines for the device or procedure being used.

How many types of pacemakers are available?

Pacemakers can be internal (placed under the skin) or external, with the electrodes placed on the skin or threaded through a tube placed into the heart.


Is a stun gun and a tazer the same thing?

A "stun gun" is a general class of implements that generate a spark or electric discharge across two or more electrodes of opposite polarity by means of capacitor and are usually battery powered. The electrodes of a "stund gun" must come into contact with the skin of the recipient. A "TAZER" is a patented device that fires two electrodes by means of compressed gas. The electrodes are connected by wires to a main hand held unit which contains the batteries and capacitors and releases an electric shock through the opposite polar electrodes, which must imbed in the flesh/skin of the recipient to deliver the shock.


How is electrocariography performed?

patient disrobes from the waist up, and electrodes (tiny wires in adhesive pads) are applied to specific sites on the arms, legs, and chest. When attached, these electrodes are called leads; three to 12 leads may be employed for the procedure
