Arrhythmia and ST Analysis Lead Placement Procedures
Monitoring a Pacemaker Patient
The recommended lead placement for a pacemaker patient is as follows.
A Pacemaker patient usually requires a different electrode patch placement configuration
than a non-pacemaker patient.
Do not place an ECG electrode directly over the pacemaker generator. Place the electrode
patches 3-5 inches away from the pacemaker generator area to avoid electrical interference.
If the electrode patches are placed closer to pacemaker generator, the ECG will contain
artifact, sometimes called “picket fence syndrome.” For example, if the pacemaker generator
is located in the right subclavian area, relocate the Right Arm (white) electrode closer in
towards the center of the chest.
