Limb electrodes:
■ RA and LA: Place arm electrodes on the inside of each arm, between the wrist and the
elbow.
■ RL and LL: Place leg electrodes inside of each calf, between the knee and the ankle.
Chest electrodes:
■ V1: On the 4th intercostal space at the right sterna margin.
■ V2: On the 4th intercostal space at the left sterna margin.
■ V3: Midway between V2 and V4 electrodes.
■ V4: On the 5th intercostal space at the left clavicular line.
■ V5: On the left anterior axillary line, horizontal with V4 electrode.
■ V6: On the left middle axillary line, horizontal with V4 electrode.
