Where should ECG leads be placed?

12-lead Precordial lead placement

  • V1: 4th intercostal space (ICS), RIGHT margin of the sternum.
  • V2: 4th ICS along the LEFT margin of the sternum.
  • V4: 5th ICS, mid-clavicular line.
  • V3: midway between V2 and V4.
  • V5: 5th ICS, anterior axillary line (same level as V4)
  • V6: 5th ICS, mid-axillary line (same level as V4)

What is ECG color?

Expanded Color Gamut (ECG) printing, also referred to as Fixed Color Palette printing, uses a standardized ink set enhancing the color space to reproduce any color used in the design. In the plugin, up to three additional inks can be used.

Where does the Brown lead go?

Place V1 (brown) chest lead in the fourth intercostal space, right sternal border. Place V2 (brown) chest lead in the fourth intercostal space, left sternal border. Place V3 (brown) chest lead midway between V2 and V4 on a straight line.

What is lead Colour code?

Lead Color | #212121 Get info! #212121. Hex : #212121. Rgb : rgb(33,33,33)

What color is the right arm lead?

The left arm ECG lead (which is the positive electrode for aVL and lead I) is always Yellow. Hence the four lateral leads (I, aVL, V5, V6) are Yellow. Similarly the right arm ECG lead (positive electrode for aVR) is always Red, so the right-ward leads (aVR, V1) are Red.

What are the best tips for EKG lead placement?

Place patient in a supine position if the patient will tolerate.

  • Place the patient’s arms down by their side to relax their shoulders.
  • Patient’s legs should be uncrossed.
  • Electrical devices such as mobile phones should be away from the patient as these devices may interfere with the machine.
  • Dry the skin if it is diaphoretic or moist.
