Abstract
In order to extend the clinical use of body surface mapping, we developed an efficient lead system which can be used under intensive care circumstances. The array consists of flexible straps with electrodes which are sucked onto the thorax by running pressurized air through venturi ejectors. Major features are: rapid application and removal, high reliability, easy handling, and suitability for repeated use with minimal discomfort to the patient.Keywords
