Standard 6-Leadwire Electrode Placement
For a 6-lead placement, use the positions from the 5-lead diagram above but with two
chest leads. The two chest leads are Va and Vb per AHA standard, and are Ca and Cb per
IEC standard. Va (Ca) and Vb (Cb) can be positioned at any two of the V1 (C1) to V6 (C6)
positions shown in the chest electrode diagram below. The default position of Va and Ca
is V1 and C1 respectively. The default position of Vb and Cb is V2 and C2 respectively
The positions of Va (Ca) and Vb (Cb) can also be placed at a proper position according to
the clinician’s needs.
■
Place the RA (white) electrode under the
patient’s right clavicle, at the mid-
clavicular line within the rib cage frame.
■
Place the LA (black) electrode under the
patient’s left clavicle, at the mid-clavicular
line within the rib cage frame.
■
Place the LL (red) electrode on the
patient’s lower left abdomen within the
rib cage frame.
■
Place the RL (green) electrode on the
patient’s lower right abdomen within the
rib cage frame.
■

the V-lead positions (V1 to V6) depicted in
the following table.
■
Place the R (red) electrode under the
patient’s right clavicle, at the mid-
clavicular line within the rib cage frame.
■
Place the L (yellow) electrode under the
patient’s left clavicle, at the mid-clavicular
line within the rib cage frame.
■
Place the F (green) electrode on the
patient’s lower left abdomen within the
rib cage frame.
■
