Acquiring an ECG Using Alternative Lead Placements<br />
Acquiring an ECG Using Alternative Lead Placements<br />
At times it may be necessary to acquire an ECG using an alternative lead<br />
placement. The Alternate Chest Lead ECG allows acquisition of right chest<br />
leads and expanded left chest leads. Other alternative lead placements include<br />
Frank and Nehb.<br />
NOTE: The standard ECG is an important part of the<br />
Alternate Chest Lead ECG. If you are acquiring an Alternate<br />
Chest Lead ECG, run a standard resting ECG before continuing<br />
(for more information, see ÒAcquiring an Auto ECGÓ on pg. 6-<br />
2).<br />
1. ConÞgure either the CUSTOM LEAD 1 or CUSTOM LEAD 2 for<br />
the desired lead placement (see ÒCUSTOM LEAD 1 & CUSTOM<br />
LEAD 2Ó on pg. 4-9).<br />
2. Follow the directions for acquiring a STAT ECG or an AUTO<br />
ECG, as described earlier in this chapter (see page 6-1).<br />
3. From the Single ECG Functions List, press the left arrow key<br />
to return to the PREVIEW screen.<br />
4. Prepare the patient for the Alternate Chest Lead ECG according<br />
to guidelines in Chapter 5 (see ÒAlternate Chest LeadÓ on pg. 5-<br />
9). Attach electrodes according to the speciÞc instructions for<br />
each lead conÞguration.<br />
5. Verify patient ID on screen. If patient ID is incorrect or absent,<br />
follow steps 1 through 3 of ÒAcquiring an ECG Using an<br />
Existing Patient FileÓ on pg. 6-3.<br />
6. Select Ò5Ó or Ò6Ó from the keyboard, depending on whether the<br />
alternative placement was selected for CUSTOM LEAD 1 or<br />
CUSTOM LEAD 2.<br />

NOTE: If ALTERNATE CHEST LEAD was selected, the<br />
screen should display Alternate Chest Lead ECG. In addition,<br />
the statement ÒAlternate Chest Lead ECGÓ will appear on the<br />
printout in place of the interpretation.<br />
7. Verify waveforms before taking the ECG.<br />
NOTE: The Recorder Speed, Gain and Frequency Response<br />
settings (displayed in the lower right corner of the PREVIEW<br />
screen) can be temporarily modiÞed if necessary. See<br />
ÒTemporarily Changing Current SettingsÓ on pg. 6-5.<br />

8. Press the ÒECGÓ function key to record the ECG.<br />
Eclipse automatically prints the ECG.<br />
