Before applying the ZOLL OneStep Pediatric Electrodes, it is important to properly prepare the patient's skin. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Remove excess chest hair: If there is excessive chest hair, it is recommended to clip it to maximize gel-to-skin contact. Shaving is not recommended as it can leave tiny microabrasions that may cause discomfort during pacing.
2. Ensure clean and dry skin: Make sure the skin under the electrode is clean and dry. Remove any debris, ointments, or skin preps using water and mild soap if necessary. Wipe off any excess moisture or diaphoresis with a dry cloth.
3. Apply the electrodes: Start by securely applying one edge of the pad to the patient's skin. Then, smoothly "roll" the pad from that edge to the other, making sure not to trap any pockets of air between the gel and the skin.
By following these steps, you can ensure proper skin preparation and maximize the effectiveness of the ZOLL OneStep Pediatric Electrodes.
