title: Electrocardiographic Monitoring in Patients with Epidermolysis Bullosa: A New Proposal.
abstract: Epidermolysis bullosa causes serious blistering of the skin even with minor trauma. The use of standard electrodes, tapes, and adhesives is restricted in these patients because it exposes the skin to stretching and shearing forces that cause traumatic blister formation. We propose herein an alternative electrocardiographic monitoring technique to minimize cutaneous trauma.
