8.2.2 Positioning the ECG self-adhesive electrodes
Fig. 25: Positions of ECG electrodes on the patient
The correct positions for the ECG self-adhesive electrodes are:
1 Red (R) directly under the middle of collar bone (midclavicular)
2 Green (F) directly under the left pectoral muscle on the midclavicular line
3 Yellow (L) directly under the middle of left collar bone (midiclavicular)
Incorrect positioning of the electrodes, defective or dry electrodes can lead
to faulty readings. For this reason, always use ECG self-adhesive
electrodes approved by Metrax.
8.2.3 Positioning the PRIMEDIC™SavePads Connect for pacing
Two different electrode positions have proved effective for cardiac stimulation:
• anterior - posterior position.
• anterior - anterior position,
The positioning and the polarity of the electrodes has a significant influence on the intensity of
the stimulation required.
The preferred position is the anterior - posterior position.
