Why can’t we simply have one electrode for adult patients and one for paediatric patients?
With today’s ECG equipment we are now able to make more accurate recordings and even suggest a diagnosis. Many new applications, such as event recording, are becoming more common. This requires a perfect trace with no artefacts and thus a higher quality, and an optimal electrode design. Furthermore it makes no sense to use a long-term electrode for a test that only takes 15 minutes. And even during short tests, some patients are resting whereas others are exercising and sweating. Each type of application demands different properties from the electrodes. This is why Ambu offers more than 100 different varieties of electrodes.
