Abstract:
1. A method of monitoring a patient's physiological signs without substantially obstructing electromagnetic imaging of the patient's chest, comprising: affixing a plurality of sensors to the patient's chest, the sensors being capable of generating electric signals representative of the patient's physiological signs; applying an electrode assembly in communication with a physiological monitor to the patient's upper arm, proceeding around the back of the patient's neck, and down the outer periphery of the patient's torso, the electrode assembly having a chest assembly with one or more extension arms, one or more expandable arms, and a plurality of radiolucent electrical connectors; connecting the electrode assembly on the patient's chest to one of the extension arms or expandable arms of the chest assembly, wherein only the extension arms or expandable arms traverse the chest; and receiving electrical signals at the physiological monitor conducted through the electrode assembly from the sensors.
