Pediatric Lead Placement
When acquiring a pediatric ECG, you may use an alternative to the standard
V 3 (C 3 ) placement. Place the sensor in the V 4 R (C 4 R) position. This is across the
sternum from V 4 (C 4 ). See Figure 5-3 for location. Improper placement will
result in inaccurate waveform labelling.
You must select the corrected V 3 (C 3 ) placement in the EDIT ID menu (see
ÒEntering Patient DemographicsÓ on pg. 6-9). If you place V 3 (C 3 ) in the V 4 R
(C 4 R) position, select ÒV4RÓ in the *V3 Placement Þeld located in the EDIT ID
menu for proper printout labelling.
V 4 R (C 4 R)
Frank: Corrected Orthogonal Leads
Attach all the limb sensors, R, L, F, and N (RA, LA, LL and RL). Please see
ÒResting ECG Lead Placement & Coding ChartÓ on pg. 5-3 for diagram.
Attach the chest sensors according to the following table. I, E, C, M and A
should all be in the same horizontal plane level with the Þfth intercostal space
(see Figure 5-4).
V 1 (C 1 ) Chest - right midaxillary line I
V 2 (C 2 ) Chest - midsternum E
V 3 (C 3 ) Chest - midclavicular line C
V 4 (C 4 ) Chest - left midaxillary line A
V 5 (C 5 ) Back - spine, opposite E M
V 6 (C 6 ) Throat or back of neck H
