Most people who are unwell will go to the hospital for an examination. The doctor prescribes the right medicine. When the heart is unwell, the doctor will also ask us to have an ECG examination. However, what are the precautions for the examination of the ECG machine?
1. Try not to use drugs
Some drugs will indirectly affect the test results of the electrocardiogram machine, so you should pay attention to the taking of the drugs before the electrocardiogram examination, and inform the doctor about your medication before the examination.
2. Avoid being too nervous
Nervous emotions can make people’s heart beat faster or arrhythmia. In this case, the ECG test obtained is not accurate enough. So relax before the test, keep your emotions stable, and convince yourself that it’s just a simple test, and there is no other.
Three, avoid exercise
Generally speaking, strenuous exercise should be avoided before the ECG examination, because during exercise, the frequency of the heart beat and the speed of blood circulation will also increase, which will lead to abnormal ECG, so it should be done before the examination. Rest for about 10 minutes.
Fourth, avoid metal interference
Pay attention to avoid wearing metal accessories when checking the electrocardiograph, because metal accessories can interfere with the electrocardiogram. In addition, if the patient is exposed to iron in daily work or life, the wrists, ankles, and front chest should be wiped clean before the examination, and put on clean clothes to avoid iron filings that may interfere with the ECG waveform and affect the examination results.
5. Avoid wearing clothes that are prone to static electricity
Try to wear loose clothing when undergoing an ECG examination, because tight clothing will cause unnecessary trouble for the examination. For example, try not to wear cotton boots in winter, and avoid wearing skirts and stockings in summer. In addition, the material of the clothes may also affect the examination results.
Sixth, try not to wear a mobile phone during the inspection
The electromagnetic waves generated by the mobile phone will cause the disorder of the electrocardiogram waveform, thereby affecting the accuracy of the diagnosis of the electrocardiogram, so the patient should not wear the mobile phone as much as possible during the examination.
