FABRICATION OF LITHIUM CHLORIDE-BALSA WOOD ELECTRODES FOR ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC MONITORING.

Abstract

An ECG electrode belt of balsa wood impregnated with lithium chloride was developed for possible use in long-term space missions. The method used to impregnate the electrodes is described, and a step-by-step procedure is given for the assemblage of the belt. The equipment can be adapted for use in emergency medical monitoring and in intensive care units. (Author)
