In this video I will review where to place the electrodes on for a 12 Lead EKG or also called an ECG. Misplacing the electrodes can lead to artifact and just crazy readings on an EKG. In this video I also share some helpful tips like cleansing the skin before placing the electrodes to the skin.

Great Video! Although, a STEMI can not be diagnosed off ECG alone. A STEMI can only be diagnosed when elevated blood troponin levels have been confirmed via labs, along with ST elevation on ECG. Until then it's just classified as ECG with ST-elevation (STE-ACS).

Working on a wearable ecg. What are common issues with ecg do you think. Are wet electrodes even usable for longer duration say 24-48 hours in ambulatory monitoring. I have figured size of snap leads cab reduced lighter .

@Katherine_Ann 7 ай бұрын

Interesting! From my understanding, they're never usable if they're wet.

@neerajnagi4231 7 ай бұрын

@@Katherine_Ann in India I have seen only wet ones, what's the trend in US, mostly dry. All the research paper suggest active 3 wired dry electrode.

I do a lot of EKGs at my work and I never feel comfortable counting ribs. I can't practice on myself because I have a large muscular chest (I bear a very strong resemblance to my avatar), many of my patients are bariatric or women with large breasts. Are there any tips? Is there any best way to get practice?

@Katherine_Ann Жыл бұрын

Good question. Obviously practicing on a human is the best way to do it. Maybe your employer will allow you to practice on co-workers or provide more training - it never hurts to ask!

@MNP208 2 жыл бұрын

Why do all of the EKG videos show placement on a mannequin or very thin man? Someone needs to show EKG lead placement on a woman with large breasts! How do you palpate ribs without causing pain?

Hi. My mom just had her EKG (10 leads, 12 views) and no limb leads were there. What look like leg leads were in the pelvic area cus it was snug under the top of her adult diaper. This is from a cardiologist office. Why is that so ? Also, at another office, my mom's knees were bent and one of her arms was over her stomach. Shouldn't the arms be by her side and legs straight. This is a family doctor's office. Thx

Hi T El! Of what I have learned, limb leads should always be placed on the actual limbs, but I also have worked in an outpatient setting where they placed the limb leads on the pelvic area. The team I worked with said it was okay... but personally, I did not feel comfortable with that. I always never felt comfortable with the patient in any position other than lying down with all 4 limbs straight. This is just what I have learned. I would ask those offices what their protocols are.

@@Katherine_Ann thanks. It's the first time I saw those leads placed there and at the time, I didn't think anything of it but when I got home and recalled, I found it strange. Thanks for clarifying.. And it was at the PCP's office where her knees were up. I will ask them next time why they chose that position (as many YT videos with a real person, they always have outstretched legs, plus EKGs at other times, at that office, legs were laid flat too ). I didn't want to question them, but I should have. Thanks again.
