ECG without bra?

Agree with Douche, bra must go for an accurate tracing. I've done hundreds of EKGs in my career and never did one with a bra on.

First two times I had it done I was told to remove my bra. I was 19 and super embarrassed about being so exposed, I remember my heart was racing. Next time, when I collapsed in the hospital where I was a resident, the doctor who took my ECG only asked me to lift my scrub top. Last time I had ECG I was allowed to leave bra on and I had paper gown on top of that.

I was 19 and super embarrassed about being so exposed, I remember my heart was racing.

@Rocket_Queen Do you still feel embarrassed when you have to become exposed for someone ?

During a play... it is to be done without a bra. But in real life, always with one on. I had to undergo several ECG exam due to sport-physical in my youth and it was always done with my bra on.

Unless the woman has small breasts and is wearing something like a stretch pullover sports bra, the bra needs to be off for either ECG or listening to the heart. I don't know how to get a good listen at a woman's mitral valve without exposing her left breast.

My wife has had three and was not allowed a bra for any of them.

The first was when she was 17 and back then they used the suction cup deals.

And back then an ekg took like twenty minutes. She just had on panties for that one. I think because it was for the military and they just aren’t too concerned with modesty. I wrote about this exam in one of the stories on my wall.

The next was at a hospital ER. The male teck and the guy who took her chest x-ray both just opened up her gown completely in the front fully exposing her breasts. At the time she was 36 so her breasts were pretty spectacular.

The ER staff weren't too concerned about modesty either. The X-ray tech left the door open for a while.

I was with her during this one and it was super hot how the male tech handled her breasts while he was putting the electrodes on her chest. One electrode he put right under her left breast, and although they stood straight out and this was not necessary, he used one hand to push her breast up while he put the electrode on.

It seemed to me that everyone spent some time admiring her splendid breasts.

The last ekg was a running stress ekg/ultrasound.

That was a long and a oh-so-fun procedure. I will have to write the details in another post.

But she wore sweats and panties for that. No bra. They pulled her sweats and panties down to put an electrode at the top of her leg, but then she kept her pants on the rest of the time.

But no bra and just a cape that mostly was hanging on her shoulders.

I’ve always had it done no bra

A related question: when using a defibrillator, it seems quite necessary to remove the bra. How do onlookers react if they seem some first responders remove the bra of an unconscious woman?

I get an EKG a few times a year , never had to remove my bra

I have had 3 and they were all braless.

I've had many ECGs and have always been topless. If it's part of my annual physical with our internist, I already have a gown on, so the nurse just lowers it or asks me to do so.

Have your ECGs been due to a known or suspected heart problem, or were they done just as a routine check?

Every ECG I've had has had me fully topless, for school sports physicals and checkups. There was one time where I was allowed a gown but my breasts were exposed for most of it anyway

I had to have an ECG in high school and all of us girls were braless in the auditorium together.
