EKG Lead Wire Systems (Advent health)
Exam Questions With Verified Answers
Lead 1 reads conductivity in what direction?
negative charge (right side) to the positive charge (left side)
What type of deflection that lead one produces?
positive
positive pad for lead 1 is place on what side?
the left side of the patient
What lead spot is very helpful for identifying atrial rhythms and hemi blocks?
Lead 1
Where is lead II should be placed?
Lowest palpable rib in the midclavicular line
What type of deflection does Lead II produces?
postive
What part of the heart does lead II give us information to?
the inferior wall of the heart
What lead should be checked for detecting sinus node and atrial arrhytmias and routine monitoring?
Lead II
Modified chest leads (MCL) is used to check what part of the heart?
the anterior wall of the heart
What is the purpose of MCL?
monitor for
-premature ventricular beats
-ventricular tachycardia
-supraventricular tachycardia
assess for
-bundle branch defects
-p wave changes
-confirm pacemaker wire placement
What is the placement of MCL?
1. negative charge on the left side close to shoulder
2. positive charge on the 4th intercoastal space mid clavicular line
3. ground charge in the right side close to shoulder
