On this episode Dave talks about electrode placement, limb leads and precordial leads. Cardiac monitoring has advanced to a point where in certain circumstances it may be appropriate to place limb leads on or near a patients torso. 

 

Also in this episode:

• Limb leads: Lead 1,2,3 and augmented vector leads - aVR, aVL, aVF
• Take the bra off so you can properly palpate and place leads correctly.
• Where's the mid-clavicular line really located?
• Placing the precordial leads for a 12 lead interpretation example
• When conducting multiple ECGs ensure the position of your patient is consistent.
• Serial ECGs make bad clinicians good ... and good clinicians great!
