How an ECG is obtained from a patient?
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.
How do you calibrate an ecg machine?
Most ECG machines calibrate themselves when they are turned on. Older or cheaper models they may need prompting, each is different but the user manual should explain it. Calibration is usually set to 1mV = 10 small squares. This can be manually adjusted if the patient has an unusually large QRS complex. Hope this helps
