Abstract:
The use and safety of the esophageal electrocardiogram for detection and diagnosis of using lead ll in major burn patient, especially burn of chest and face Compared with lead ll , 100% of cardiac rhythm was properly detected with the esopha-geal electrcardiogram. Large distinct P waves, resulting from the proximity of the esophageal lead to the left atrium, clearly established the temporal relationship between atrial and ventricular depo- larization Ne complications were encountered during the atudy. The esophageal lead is safe, simple to use, and provides valuable information fur dele- ction or diagnosis of cardiac rhythm during major burn anesthesia.
