content: So yesterday I had another ECG test done because they found a heart problem on the last one, as I do not go out they have to come to me.My nurse is a nice woman and she has the patience of a saint, well, have you ever seen one try to attach sensors for an ECG as the patient is cruising the EEVBlog forum whilst being told to lay down and lay still as the sensors kept falling off, look, I can't help being addicted now, might miss a bargain in the buy sell wanted section you know.Finally as she was doing this deed I said " do you want to use some of my IPA to clean a patch on my skin just to see if the probe patches will stick ? ". She said yes, went and got it and then somehow my IPA bottle ended up in the side pocket of her med bag, not for long though. cheeky beggar.

content: I'm surprised that a) the nurse did not carry any alcohol wipes and b) your computer did not interfere with the ECG.

content: I dont care if I dont live longer, at least my situation would be monostable. Would my coffin buzz though ?It would seem they don't carry a lot of stuff they used too any more, tons of cut backs from what I get told. A bit like some Govt branches etc who now have to supply their own uniforms or parts of. My pc is on the floor in the corner of the room, connected to a large TV set, I merely had a wireless mouse and was clicking through the forum, she did get cross though as her probes fell of, she was playing catch up with them for ages.

content: Quote from: German_EE on July 31, 2015, 08:49:08 amMain causes of noise or artefacts in ECG are powerline 50/60Hz, muscle activity and loose electrodes.Input bandwith is usually max 500 to 2000Hz, everything above is filtered out.

content: I doubt it, she is as old as I am, well a year younger 55, she takes no prisoners either, I made a comment to her about how she was a typical woman always bossing me about and she told me to shut up and do as I was told.

content: If there is no time to shave/find the shaver, I just stick a pad on the area of interest and rip it off with the hair. After that, stick a new pad on the hairless area.

content: "Nurses , NHS, and ECG probes."This thread disappointed. It wasn't announcing found footage from the never released sequel to Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
