Chapter 52 - Electrocardiography and pulmonary function testing. This chapter introduces you to the electrocardiograph instrument and how to administer an electrocardiogram. You will also learn how to apply electrocardiograph electrodes and wires, operate the instrument, and troubleshoot problems that can occur while recording the heart's electrical activity. | Chapter 52 PowerPoint® to accompany Second Edition Ramutkowski Booth Pugh Thompson Whicker Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Electrocardiography and Pulmonary Function Testing Introduction It is not uncommon for patient to have cardiovascular or respiratory problems. You may be responsible for performing, screening, and/or diagnostic testing in the physician’s office. You will learn how to correctly perform testing on the cardiac and respiratory systems. Electrocardiography and Pulmonary Function Testing Your role will be to perform: Electrocardiography – graphic recordings of the electrical impulses of the heart Pulmonary function tests – measure and evaluate a patient’s lung capacity and volume Anatomy of the Heart Muscular pump that circulates blood throughout the body Carries oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removes waste products Pumping action begins in the muscle tissue of the heart (myocardium) Double pump Right side Left side A description of the .
