    CORRECTION: 2:26 The summary should read Lead I negative and aVF positive for RAD. The audio and graphic are correct.

    Great video. I'm 7 months into the ED as a nurse and love it. I will say that most of our techs and nurses do Not care about lead placement and just slap them on wherever. Basically the leads 3-6 will be touching and in a straight line. Yikes.

    Sorry Chiara! Maybe slowing down the playback may help, or if you're very fresh to ECG it would probably help looking at the way they function before interpretation. Once you've got that it'll be a good place to come to cover general interpretation. Good luck with your learning! 😊
