[The telemetric emergency electrocardiography--practical use and methodologic effectiveness].

The study of 797 emergency provisions shows that it is possible to improve the implementation of internal emergency measures in respect of operation and safety by means of telemetric emergency-electrocardiography by eliminating electric cables and their resulting interference factors. Thereby the proper signal receiving by fixed thorax electrodes or a maintenance-free electrode-transmitter unit serving as an "electronic emergency electrode" meets the requirements of the case of emergency for an ECG-recording under mechanical stress or without delay. The application of this procedure is especially recommended for emergency and danger situation in which cabling is connected with risks as to operation and safety. After providing all the technical preconditions for the wireless communication telemetric signal transmitting is unreservedly to be applied for practical emergency provision.
