12 Lead ECG Placement Part I

[goodgradesfast]

I teach a lot of nurses memory skills, and this video is a nice learning tool!

[jessyjessy4]

very interesting thanks

[mauijim00]

WOW. THANK YOU!!

[maspeakes]

GREAT VIDEO!!!!

[maspeakes]

remember that the video is teaching ecg placement.....for those of you who look for other things, you must be new and want to be important

[xiaomeiish]

Great educational video. He'd answered my question, such as why some videos showed placement on the torso rather than limbs. Now I know that the limb leads can be either on the limbs or torso. I love YouTube! I'm learning more now on YouTube than I had ever did in college! LOL.

[jc55]

Lol @ driving and plugging a book at the same time.

[cruzestela1]

so helpful! thank you

[TruthThanks]

his he driving and doing a video at the same time! LOL

[Shaunakde]

@TruthThanks Friends don't let friends drive while talking. :)

[mycrickethighlights2]

hahahahhahahahahahahahha

[kencates85]

you dont use a NRB if the patients sats are holding above 95%, 02 causes vasoconstriction, thats the last thing you want the the coronary artery that is blocked to do. hints why we give nitro, its all about vasodilation

[pebbles1052]

left the word "space" out "intercostal space"

[CrashBandikoot7]

how the hell do u do these on women!?

[pebbles1052]

If one is uncomfortable with performing this on a woman it is possible to complete the task with the patients bra in place. If that is not possible a towel can be used to cover most, but not all of the breast area.

[pebbles1052]

Leads V1 & V2 should be the fourth intercostal down, no more than 1/2 inch from the sternum. The limb lead placement should only be varied in cases of severe wounds or amputations to the limbs and then the lower stomach or upper chest areas can be used.

[pebbles1052]

@pebbles1052 "intercostal rib", sorry

[muslim0youth]

@pebbles1052 what is "intercostal rib?" there is no such a thing? u mean intercostal space? "cost=rib in latin" so no need for the "rib" again!

thnx....

[jomomma193]

Thanks for the video.

-Signed, an EMT student who hopes not to piss off a Paramedic by not knowing how to attach a 12 lead.

[kencates85]

@jomomma193 dont ever be afraid to step up if you know something, just do it respectfully!

[TheOptism]

@7:07 to 8:02 ...clear demonstration thanks awesome video

[math2708]

Hi, thank you for posting this tutorial.

Question, can you expand upon the limb leads placed on the torso instead. Its around 6.57mins into the video.

I was always taught to place 'on the limbs' but i often see them placed on the torso in the real world emergency situation. What difference if any does it make?

Regards

[pebbles1052]

@math2708

according to the cardiologists who interpret my ekgs limb placement makes all the difference in the world.

[viking9302]

ICEMAN, there is no reason to use a NRB on someone who is oxygenating well....

[ICEMANof92]

wtf NC on a CP? um. no. NRB FTW.

[firecapt100]

Excellent presentation Tim! Great review for our crews.

[scouseland1]

Why the electrodes on the legs? I went to the doc and he examined only with the fingers, in the same place of the leg electrodes, was that to assess the heart? it was very quick.

Thanks

[ghdz1984]

thank you sooo much for this! I have been out of the field for a few years and am going back in tomorrow!! needed a refresher crash course. thanks again!!!

[nadesico81]

This video is fantastic thank you. EMT Bs in NH have to know this.

[196323100]

[JakeHustle2]

How much ekg techs get paid?

[c140075]

[jameszetta1]

[mwbaseball90]

yea i agree with lealeabgo i was trippin out during the middle when the voice got fast i thought i was a lot drunker than i realized at first lol

[w0057657]

I thought the Chipmunks had taken over.

[XxBreakTheRulezxX]

@w0057657

LOL

[ecgdude]

Great video it helps a great deal.

thank you

[manjitrai1]

exellent short video

[lealeabgo]

The bit in the middle was exactly how i felt reading my text books this morning!

[leftwingnazi]

I thought I was going into an acid flashback midway through this video.

[iadknee]

great tutorial but doing EKG's in WOMEN is a bit challenging because of the breast anatomical part. =(

[VetBoi87]

so true.... especially being a guy like me... the woman sometimes feel uncomfortable. But they always let me do it on them. I said it is very important for the outcome of their diagnosis... especially if they are having chest pain. :-D

[Southernmclovin]

especially when theyre old and they have pancake titties

[TNFlightNurse]

@iadknee It isn't that bad so long as you explain to the patient what you are doing, why you are doing it, and use the back of your hand to lift the breast discreetly. Never grab the breast with the palm of your hand, it is poor form.

[luch07]

Treat the patient first then apply the 12 lead remember he could still be having an AMI and it may not show just like he explained in the video it may go away so treat regardless of your findings treat the patient not the monitor

[DJM2k7]

Great video, helped me prepare for my exams :)

[stsethmb]

I thought bony prominence is the best area to place a limb electrodes.

[stsethmb]

I thought the bony prominence is the best area to place a limb electrodes?

[Busybusybee123]

great tutorial. especially the demonstration of lead placement. thanks!

[bdictjames]

I thought my computer had sort of a virus!

[arlrob3]

I'm glad to have a visual tutorial. It helps me to see how to do an EKG accurately.

[PrincessShiya]

I don't know about you all but, I'm still confused!

[nestlee84]

I had a training in telemetry, i appreciate more about the EKG, the movie was very informative!

thank you.............

[sisterbrothers]

I recently had this in ER. The nurse placed BioTabs on my body, then clipped the wires on. It was an interesting experience, as I've never been to a doctors or hospital in 36 years.

[Animatorbluesky]

Thank you so much uploading this video.

[jpmedic65]

Good video. I've been doing 12 leads since 96.

This would have made learning easier.

[Tarhini]

american cars are left hand drive so he wasnt driving but more importantly Great Vid! Brilliant explanations of how ECG's work

[trix1210]

is it safe to drive whilst holding a book and looking at a camera and not at the road ??!!

[ricwilliam]

It is OBVIOUSLY no..

& please do put in mind that the video is for ECG purposes, not driving safely.

and also,

I personally don't think he is the one driving..

I don't see the steering wheel.

even if he holds the steering wheel, the car might be on another larger vehicle, hence no need for steering.

[AnthonyM83]

No....it's probably why he's not doing it.

[sjinbolivia]

He is not driving at all. The camera is located across the dashboard on the driver's side of the vehicle. The camera is positioned low so that it is not obstructing the view of the driver.

Great video. Thanks a lot. Very educational and so learnt a lot that would have otherwise taken a long time.

[jhonellq]

nice one sir,thanx much..

[nonick4me2]

great !!! tnx !! ! ! ! !
