The absolute best EKG 12 Lead video that I have ever found! I especially appreciate the specific attention provided on the palpating technique on both the skeleton model and the human model.

Thank you for addressing how to find the second rib. It's something that has been overlooked in many demonstrations.

Absolutely! It's a very important part of correct placement of the precordial electrodes!

Perfect placement, great video! My nursing and allied health students are learning EKG via Distance Learning because of COVID, and this was such a helpful video for them. Kudos!

Thank for this, very helpful, I have my ecg exam tomorrow after watching this I feel more confident in passing my exam.

good am starting my externship for my MA; needed a refresher! have seen it in our clinic a few times excellent review! I wanted to reestablish the landmarks for finding the intercostal spaces! excellent video! please keep them coming!! thank you!

Very informative. Thank you!

The limb leads should be placed on the distal aspects of the limbs, i.e., proximal to the wrists and ankles, as per AHA guidelines. Placement on the upper aspects of the limb displaces the vectors of the augmented leads, which ultimately affects the QRS axis and frontal plane amplitudes. Otherwise, nice demo of the precordial leads

Hi Mark, thanks for commenting and for watching the video. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Your comment is spot on and you'll actually find I address this exact point in one of my EKG interpretation videos (kzread.info/dash/bejne/aXh1rNJme5vXcbg.html). I personally always put them on the distal extremities when performing EKGs and train my students that way too. The main point I was trying to make in this video (and a huge problem I see in hospitals) is that limb leads do not belong on the shoulder or hips. I've seen that done far too often. But yes, unless not possible electrodes should be on the legs proximal to the ankle and arms just proximal to the wrist. Thanks for your comment! Check out that other video, starting at about 27:01 (kzread.info/dash/bejne/aXh1rNJme5vXcbg.html?t=1621). Thanks!

Benjamin Jaojoco thanks! That’s very kind of you!

Thank you very much for this video. I haven't performed EKGs in a long time and changed job positions in which I am performing them ALOT more, this was a great refresher. If all of my patients had the anatomy of your test subject in the video, then EKGs would be simple every time. I find my greatest challenge are females with large breasts, and it would be great if this was addressed as well. In many of those cases I'm placing the precordial leads as close as possible to where they should be, but it's still a challenge. Again, thank you for this video!

I know what you mean. I perform EKG's in my office. Those are challenging, along with the very ticklish, men with large amounts of chest/limb hair, uncooperative children, etc.

Should include a follow-up so that you can tell if any of the chest leads are incorrectly placed by looking at the strip (if that is possible?). Too bad there isn't some kind of sensor gizmo you can use to quickly and easily detect the ribs (and intercostal spaces) that would help make sure placement is correct, btw, kinda analogous to those "stud finders" carpenters use to detect/locate the studs behind a wall.

The 10 electrodes create 12 different paths to record the heart's electrical activity. The leads are the spaces between the electrode stickers, so only 10 stickers are needed to create the 12 paths.

Its been a whle and I don't get to do it often or at all where i am now. thanks. Do you have any more tips on feeling for the ribs ?

No, they go as close to the stump of the lost limb as possible. Limb leads would ONLY go on the abdomen if the patient was missing limbs up to the torso. Same for those with skin issues and Parkinson's.

Is it that a mistake if the line gets tangled?

Thanks

Thanks Doctor. I really found this helpful.

I'm new thanks for your video very helpful

I was hoping to see him fix the peeling off electrode ; to demonstrate how to apply tape to help hold everything in place. Also, I was hoping to see him apply all LEADs. As a beginner, this would be helpful to see the setup of procedure done entirely.

If your skin preparation is excellent to begin with , ie no hair and lightly exfoliate with a skin preparation pad then the electrodes will always stay in place.

What if the patients has hand tremors, Parkinson? I thought such cases would warrant placing the limb leads on the chest/abdomen? Also, if a patient was to perform a stress test, wouldn't placing them on the chest better than on moving arms? Honest question. Thanks

Thank you so much for the video BUT what about on females? all the videos I have seen so far places on males only, which seems easy to do. also how I do I go about in obese patients?

THANKYOU!

What about the other two leads, they go at the bottom of the rib cage, right?

Is there colour coding always same in leads like red green organ please tell me which color to be put were

I don't know why our professor said we don't place electrodes on right leg?

Does it matter if limb leads are facing up or down?

Please finish the EKG series.

Do you still do it the same way if their heart is on the other side?

PLEASE SUGGEST ME A GOOD COMPANY 12 LEAD ECG MACHINE. OR FAR BETTER FROM 12 LEADS.

V4 is 5th ICS. V5 and V6 are same horizontal line as V4, do not curve up following 5th ICS. This is a common confusion and my main criticism of an otherwise very good placement video. I wish he wouldn’t have presented 5th ICS and horizontal line as synonymous for V5-6

I was quite enjoying your video until you put the electrodes mid bicep 💪? Left and right forearm, proximal to wrists every time unless not possible! Moving the electrodes towards the torso increases the R wave amplitude in the inferior leads, decreases the R wave amplitude in the lateral leads and will encourage an axis shift to the right.

Well V5 and V6 should be in 5th intercoastal space so for that they should form an upward curce not horizontal because ribs on moving from backbone to sternum form a downward curve thus intercoastal space is also curved but not horizontal exactly Thus V5 should be slightly upwards than V4 and V6 inturn upwards than V5

V5-V6, national standard is to follow the horizontal plane from V4, do not follow the curve of the ICS

How do you do this on an obese patient?

@minimedlessons

Жыл бұрын

For patients with obesity, it’s important to do you best to place the electrodes in the same intercostal/rib spaces you would on anyone else. Palpate deeply for the ribs, which are usually easier to feel superiority, and estimate as best you can in the areas where you can’t palpate ribs.

Where is lead 11 and 12?

Like HE’S a mannequin, you mean? :) Need to know you’re in the right spot. Too many people are too afraid to touch people and push when needed. It’s far more important to palpate ribs and know you’re in the right location than it is to worry a little bit of palpation is going to hurt someone. Obviously you don’t push so hard it causes pain and bruising, but don’t be afraid to palpate like you would on a mannequin.
