A survey, posted on the ASET website, soliciting input on this subject with emphasis on patient population (adult/child), technique and products (including electrodes), and length of recording time was conducted.  \nThe committee concludes that products and electrodes have less impact on skin safety than the technique in which they are used. One should review the manufacturers’ “recommended use” of the products used for skin preparation and electrode application.  \nA better understanding of how skin responds related to hydration, air temperature, changing medical condition and external pressure will help guide technique and improve skin safety. Additional skin safety considerations should be employed for neonatal, pediatric, and geriatric populations due to the nature of their thin, delicate skin.  \nThe following suggested techniques are for consideration:  \n1. Skin Preparation:  \n• Start with a clean skin surface.  \n• Use a cotton swab, preferably with a flexible stick, to apply the skin preparing product. Do not use the tip of the swab but the side of the cotton tip end to prepare the skin surface.  \n• When using preparing solution with a cotton-tipped applicator, apply the solution using light, quick strokes in one direction only. Avoid rubbing the solution on the  \nskin back and forth in two directions, which can cause friction of the skin and an uncomfortable, burning sensation for the patient.  \n• Very thin, delicate skin may tolerate the preparation more safely by using clean gauze wrapped around the fore finger with the skin preparing agent and gently massaging the marked area.  \n• Wipe skin preparing solution off after preparation of the area. This will eliminate irritating material between the electrodes and the skin.  \n2. Electrodes:  \n• Consideration of disposable electrodes should be evaluated for use on the critically ill patients.  \n• If using reusable electrodes be sure that policies for cleaning are adhered to and infectious disease policies address the use of reusable electrodes on patients in isolation.  \n• Scott NK. Infection prevention: 2013 review and update for neurodiagnostic technologists. Neurodiagn J. 2013 Dec;53(4):271–88.  \n• A flat rimmed electrode exerts less pressure on the skin.  \n• Thinner, less heavy electrode wire/cable choices will reduce pressure on the electrode and skin underneath.  \n• Caution should be taken with electrode metal choice when setting up neonates who are under heat lamps as there have been reports of some metals heating up under heat lamp exposure. It has been noted that the temperature of gold-plated electrodes seems to remain constant in comparison to other metals. Further investigation is encouraged.  \n3. Electrode Application:  \n• Fill the head of the electrode with a conductive medium. An ample amount of the conductive medium should be used.  \n• Float the conductive filled electrode on the prepared area. Pressing the electrode metal firmly on the skin should be avoided.  \n• Cushion the electrode hub and tail with soft cotton or gauze on all exposed skin surfaces (FP1/2, F7/8, A1/2 and any additional low/extra temporal skin surface electrodes) .  \n• Cover the electrode to secure. The medium for covering and securing the electrode should be assessed. Research has not demonstrated whether Collodion or other medical adhesives reduce or increase skin breakdown. The facility should determine which works better for their patient population.","cbCaispks4xTUDzj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaispks4xTUDzj","pdf",47976,"English","# Skin Safety During EEG Procedures - Key Conclusions\n## Guiding Principle: Technique Over Product\n## Patient-Specific Considerations\n# Suggested Techniques for Skin Safety\n## Skin Preparation\n## Electrodes\n## Electrode Application\n## Applied Electrode Impedance\n## Skin Safety Checks","[{\"question\":\"What is the main conclusion about skin safety during EEG procedures?\",\"answer\":\"Products and electrodes have less impact on skin safety than the technique used to apply them.
