ECG monitoring should be established as soon as possible for patients with sudden collapse or symptoms of coronary ischemia to detect serious arrhythmias.
Part 7.3: Management of Symptomatic Bradycardia and TachycardiaC ardiac arrhythmias are a common cause of sudden death.ECG monitoring should be established as soon as possible for all patients who collapse suddenly or have symptoms of coronary ischemia or infarction.To avoid delay, apply adhesive electrodes with a conventional or automated external defibrillator (AED) or use the "quick-look" paddles feature on conventional defibrillators.For patients with acute coronary ischemia, the greatest risk for serious arrhythmias occurs during the first 4 hours after the onset of symptoms (see Part 8: "Stabilization of the Patient With Acute Coronary Syndromes"). 1
