ECG Monitoring: Patient Preparation
3-Leadwire Electrode Placement
When a 5-leadwire electrode configuration is not desirable, a 3-leadwire
cable can be used.
NOTE
Electrode configuration will vary depending on the type of leadwire
set you are using.
Right arm and left arm electrodes should be placed just below the right
and left clavicle.
Left leg electrode should be placed on a non-muscular surface on the
lower edge of the rib cage.
Electrode Placement for Pediatric Patients
Typically, pediatric patients are large enough for a 5- or 6-leadwire
electrode configuration. This is the preferred monitoring setup for
receiving the benefits of multi-lead analysis. However, if the patient is
too small for five or six electrodes, the 3-leadwire electrode configuration
can be used. The right arm and left arm electrodes are positioned on the
right and left sides of the chest. The right leg electrode can be placed on
either the right or left side of the abdomen. Refer to the illustrations in
the 3-Leadwire Electrode Placement section above.
