Abstract:
1. A method of positioning electrodes on a patient for detecting a cardiac waveform and/or a respiratory waveform, comprising the steps of: a. providing a plurality of electrodes having an upper and lower surface, b. placing a first electrode under a garment worn by the patient in the region of the left lower abdomen/inguinal region, such that the adhesive surface of said first electrode affixes to said garment; c. placing a second electrode under said garment worn in the region of the right lower abdomen/inguinal region, such that the adhesive surface of said electrode affixes to said garment; and d. wherein the lower surface of each electrode comprises a skin-contact surface that is brought into contact with the skin of the patient so as to be able to detect a cardiac waveform and/or a respiratory waveform.
