    (2024) Ramirez, Dana, Osteopathic Medical Student; Hapenciuc, Gabriel, Osteopathic Medical Student; Shillinglaw, Andrew, Osteopathic Medical Student; Loomis, Mario, Associate Professor Clinical Anatomy; Alvarez, Diego F, Professor Physiology and Pharmacology
    In this episode of the Loomis-Alvarez Medical Video Series, we present the technique for mastering 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) Electrode Placement in male subjects. Within the field of cardiology, precision in electrode placement is paramount for capturing high-fidelity ECG readings. Our immersive laboratory demonstration mirrors a real-world scenario, equipping medical students with the practical expertise needed to confidently position electrodes for optimal signal acquisition. Embark on this comprehensive journey through each essential step, beginning with meticulous skin preparation to ensure secure electrode adhesion and seamless signal transmission. Navigate the intricacies of limb lead placement, strategically positioning electrodes on the arms and legs (RA, LA, RL, LL) to capture electrical activity accurately. Moreover, unlocks the secrets of chest lead placement, utilizing precise anatomical landmarks to guide the placement of electrodes (V1-V6) across the chest region. By immersing yourself in this practical activity, you will gain invaluable insights and hands-on experience vital for mastering the art of 12-lead ECG electrode placement.
