Typically, if the baby's skin is clean and free of lotions/oils, you will not need to perform any skin preparation.

However, to lower the skin impedances, follow these instructions:

•

Clean the skin where the electrodes will be placed

Put some of the skin preparation gel (NuPrep) onto a piece of gauze or swab and rub the skin gently

•

several times. Neonates generally do not require excessive abrasion and in some cases, it may

make impedances worse

•

Remove any excessive abrasive gel and ensure the skin is dry before placing the electrodes

If the baby's skin is dry or you are obtaining high impedances, applying a small amount of conductive

•

gel/paste to the baby's skin prior to connecting the surface electrode will help to rehydrate the skin

and to lower impedances
