Abstract
An example method is performed by an electrocardiogram (ECG) device and includes determining a number of lead wires of an ECG cable assembly that is attached to the ECG device. The method also includes receiving ECG signals using electrodes of the ECG cable assembly. Further, the method includes using the number of lead wires as a basis for selecting a live-lead view from among a first live-lead view and a second live-lead view. Still further, the method includes displaying a representation of the ECG signals in the selected live-lead view in accordance with the selection.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by an electrocardiogram (ECG) device, a cable configuration of an ECG cable assembly attached to the ECG device;
- receiving, by the ECG device, ECG signals using electrodes of the ECG cable assembly;
- selecting, by the ECG device, a live-lead view from among a plurality of available live-lead views based on the cable configuration, wherein the selection automatically configures a graphical user interface (GUI) of the ECG device to display a number of representations of the ECG signals equal to the number of ECG leads in the selected live-lead view;
- and
- displaying, by the ECG device, the representations of the ECG signals in the selected live-lead view, thereby enabling observation and adjustment of electrode connections for diagnostic quality without requiring user input identifying the cable configuration.
An electrocardiogram (ECG) system comprising:
- an ECG device comprising a defibrillator monitor;
- an ECG cable assembly attached to the ECG device;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine a cable configuration of the ECG cable assembly;
- receive ECG signals using electrodes of the ECG cable assembly;
- select a live-lead view from among a plurality of available live-lead views based on the cable configuration, wherein the selection automatically configures a graphical user interface (GUI) of the ECG device to display a number of representations of the ECG signals equal to the number of ECG leads in the selected live-lead view;
- and
- display the representations of the ECG signals in the selected live-lead view, thereby enabling observation and adjustment of electrode connections for diagnostic quality without requiring user input identifying the cable configuration.
