Electrode Equivalence for Use in Bioimpedance Spectroscopy Assessment of Lymphedema.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) is commonly used in the assessment and monitoring of lymphedema. This study investigated electrodes as a source of variability that could impact the accuracy of BIS in the clinic and determined if Ag/AgCl electrocardiograph (ECG) electrodes could be used as an alternative to instrument-specific electrodes. METHODS AND RESULTS:Two types of Ag/AgCl electrodes were studied: instrument-specific bioimpedance electrodes (bioimpedance) and single tab ECG electrodes (cardiac). Six areas of investigation were addressed: intrinsic electrode resistance; electrode age; drive electrode position; electrode width/surface area; concordance between cardiac and bioimpedance electrodes; and mixing electrode types and batches. Participants included women (n = 26) and men (n = 8), both with (n = 4) and without lymphedema (n = 30). Resistance (R0) of the limbs was measured and used to calculate interlimb BIS ratios. Intrinsic electrode resistance varied between batches (p ≤ 0.001), with cardiac electrodes recording higher resistance. Electrode age had no impact on limb resistance (p = 0.85). Drive electrode position biased limb resistance (0.1%-2.3%) and electrode size/surface area had a small (≤1%), but significant effect on limb resistance (p ≤ 0.001). However, calculation of interlimb BIS ratios negated the impact of these as well as any effect of mixing electrode batches and types (p = 0.15-0.96). Electrode type had no impact on arm and leg resistance, or interlimb BIS ratios (p = 0.173-0.289). CONCLUSION:Calculation of interlimb BIS ratios improves accuracy of clinical BIS. Ag/AgCl cardiac electrodes can be used as an alternative to device-specific electrodes to measure limb resistance.
