Abstract
Interference in the electrocardiogram (EGG) signal in an operating roo m environment is common. Interference from a variety of sources, inclu ding electrosurgical units and blood warmers, have been reported. We r eport the occurrence of an ECG signal that was cleared of interference whenever the electrosurgical unit (ESU) was activated.
