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.
