چکیده
CRITICALCARENURSE Vol 29, No. 1, FEBRUARY 2009 67 Electrode misplacement is another common artifact. Such misplacement may lead to changes in ECG morphology that could potentially be interpreted as ischemic in origin. Electrode misplacements can also mimic serious arrhythmias and lead to misdirected therapeutic decisions.

Pitfalls and artifacts in electrocardiography.
The standard 12-lead ECG is a common diagnostic test that provides a wealth of diagnostic information of value for clinical decision making. Its value, however, depends upon the accuracy of its recording. This article presents common errors in clinical electrocardiography including inaccurate lead placement, inappropriate serial comparisons using different lead sets, lead wire reversals, inappr...
متن کاملCombined Electrocardiography- and Respiratory-Triggered CT of the Lung to Reduce Respiratory Misregistration Artifacts between Imaging Slabs in Free-Breathing Children: Initial Experience
OBJECTIVE Cardiac and respiratory motion artifacts degrade the image quality of lung CT in free-breathing children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of combined electrocardiography (ECG) and respiratory triggering on respiratory misregistration artifacts on lung CT in free-breathing children. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 15 children (median age 19 months, range 6 months-8 y...
متن کاملA PCA/ICA based Fetal ECG Extraction from Mother Abdominal Recordings by Means of a Novel Data-driven Approach to Fetal ECG Quality Assessment
Background: Fetal electrocardiography is a developing field that provides valuable information on the fetal health during pregnancy. By early diagnosis and treatment of fetal heart problems, more survival chance is given to the infant.Objective: Here, we extract fetal ECG from maternal abdominal recordings and detect R-peaks in order to recognize fetal heart rate. On the next step, we find a be...
متن کاملUtility of Electrocardiography (ECG)-Gated Computed Tomography (CT) for Preoperative Evaluations of Thymic Epithelial Tumors
BACKGROUND Preoperative evaluation of invasion to the adjacent organs is important for the thymic epithelial tumors on CT. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the utility of electrocardiography (ECG)-gated CT for assessing thymic epithelial tumors with regard to the motion artifacts produced and the preoperative diagnostic accuracy of the technique. MATERIAL/METHODS Forty thymic epitheli...
متن کاملSignal Processing of ECG Using Matlab
The ECG signal, even rest ECG, is often corrupted by artifacts produced by varies sources of either artificial or biological nature. Main artificial artifacts are power line interference, Impulse noise, Electrostatic potentials and noise of electronic devices. The main biological artifacts are motion artifacts and muscle artifacts (EMG signal) The present work introduces the digital filtering m...
