6.2 Electrode placement
Advice:
Set the chest electrode first, then the limb electrode.
6.2.1 Chest electrode
V l: Fourth inter-costal space at right border of sternum.
V2: Fourth inter-costal space at left border of sternum.
V3: Midway between V2 and V4.
V4: Fifth inter-costal space at left mid-clavicular line.
VS: Left anterior axillary line at the horizontal lever ofV4.
V6: Left mid-axillary line at the horizontal lever ofV4.
Clean the positions around where chest electrodes attached with alcohol, lay the ECG medical
gel around the position and the edge of chest electrode cap, press the suction bulb, and firmly
attach the electrodes to the positions from Vl toV6.
Attention:
The ECG medical gel coating should be separated, and the touching chest electrode
may result in short circuit.
6.2.2 Limb electrode
Place the electrode on the hand and leg, clean the positions around to which limb electrodes are
to be attached with alcohol, then lay some ECG medical gel on the cleaned skin.
