title: [An aid in the diagnosis of cardiac rhythm disorders in anesthesia and intensive care].
abstract: Exact diagnosis of tachycardia was sometimes difficult to do as P waves were not easy to see on ECG. A simple device is described, with which ample P waves were recorded in patients with a central venous catheter. This catheter was used as conductor of cardiac electrical activity. It proved simpler and less aggressive for the patient in comparison with other techniques (intracardiac and oesophageal recording).
