OPEN ACCESS - New EMG lab and electrical interference
Hello,
Soon I will be tasked with setting up a new EMG lab at a satellite hospital. I've been thinking about choice of location of the lab in the new hospital and have been wondering about electrical interference.
Is there a way to measure/predict if this will be a problem? That is, short of setting up the EMG machine and using it in the new location?
I know folks are familiar with this problem in ICU settings, but once or twice I've run across the problem during inpatient studies, and have concluded the interference must have come from a room above or below where I was located......

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
