Abstract
Systems and methods for suppressing electrical noise in an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal obtained by at least one electrode and displayed on an ECG monitor are disclosed. The system includes a conductive material distinct from the at least one electrode and configured to contact a surface of a patient, and filtering circuitry connected in series between the conductive material and ground. The filtering circuitry may be configured to filter to ground the electrical noise present within the patient before it is received by the at least one electrode and is prevented from distorting the ECG signal that is displayed on the ECG monitor.
