FIGURE 9-11 Lead II Monitoring (AHA) FIGURE 9-12 Lead II Monitoring (IEC)
• Place the RA (white) electrode under the
patient’s right clavicle, at the mid-clavicular
line within the rib cage frame.
• Place the LA (black) electrode under the
patient’s left clavicle, at the mid-clavicular
line within the rib cage frame.
• Place the LL (red) electrode on the patient’s
lower left abdomen within the rib cage
frame.
Select ECG Lead II on the monitor. Lead II is the
direct electrical line between the RA (white)
electrode and the LL (red) electrode.
• Place the R (red) electrode under the
patient’s right clavicle, at the mid-clavicular
line within the rib cage frame.
• Place the L (yellow) electrode under the
patient’s left clavicle, at the mid-clavicular
line within the rib cage frame.
• Place the F (green) electrode on the
patient’s lower left abdomen within the rib
cage frame.
Select ECG Lead II on the monitor. Lead II is the
direct electrical line between the R (red)
