How does exercise affect ICG technology?
ICG technology devices are not designed for use during exercise. Heavy respiration and/or motion, such as encountered during exercise, can not be filtered and will affect the impedance signal, thus causing invalid measurements of ICG parameters. Back to Top Amputees or Quadriplegics Question: How will an Amputee or Quadriplegic affect ICG technology? Answer: The standard equation for estimating body surface area is not appropriate for these individuals. Consequently, indexing these parameters may not be valid (over or under-estimation of indexed parameters). Therefore, ICG technology should only be used to get a baseline and for trending on these patients. Enter in patient’s height before the amputation occurred.
