4-Lead ECG
A 3-lead or 4-lead ECG is emitted from the appropriate positions for display on a standard monitor. A
contact is available on the manikin’s chest for each of four cables.
The 4-Lead ECG Ports
The simulator generates a normal sinus ECG, as well as a broad range of abnormalities such as
myocardial ischemia, sinus tachycardia and bradycardia, ventricular fibrillation and asystole. The
hemodynamic response to the arrhythmias is physiologically correct. Myocardial oxygen balance and
cardiac ischemia automatically influence the cardiac rhythm resulting in a realistic and automatic
response of the rhythm to hypoxemia. The degree of influence can be controlled or completely
overridden by the instructor.
To use the ECG lead ports, locate the posts (provided with accessories) and screw each post onto a
lead port.
Note: The inferior locations have an extender permanently in place.
