Apply ECG electrodes (see Chapter 7). Connect to ECG cable. Adjust ECG size and
lead for a convenient waveform display. Verify proper R-wave detection. The
heart-shaped R-wave detector flashes on the monitor when proper detection of R-
wave is taking place.
Apply back pacer electrodes between
scapula and spine at level of heart.
