Question 1: aVR is placed where and what type of deflection does it have?
Answer:
- Arm ; negative deflection
Question 2: precordial leads
Answer:
unipolar V1-V6 (where you pick up the signal of the heart)
Question 3: lead l includes?
Answer:
(+) R. Arm <---> L. Arm (-)
Question 4: standard limb lead
Answer:
"bipolar lead" AKA bipolar bc they are composed of 2 electrodes; a neg. and pos. one; ECG records the difference in electrical potential btwn them
Question 5: In a 12-lead, Color ____ is placed on ____
Answer:
[Lead] BLACK ; Left arm
Question 6: lead lll includes?
Answer:
(-) L. Arm <--> L. Leg (+)
Question 7: if an aVR has a positive deflection, what should be done?
Answer:
make sure that the leads are properly placed Question 8: QRS complex:
Answer:
represents the complete ventricular depolarization last (0.08-0.12 secs or 2-3 small sq) anything +/- means "abnormal"
Question 9: which leads produces a positive deflection?
Answer:
lead l, ll, lll & aVL, aVF
Question 10: electrodes are?
Answer:
are placed on the pts skins in specific locations that control electrical activity to the ECG
- for single use
- check for expiration date
Question 11: how many leads in a 12 waveform paper?
Answer:
10 leads
Question 12: In a 12-lead, Color ____ is placed on ____
Answer:
[Lead] GREEN ; Right leg
Question 13: lead ll includes?
Answer:
(+) R. Arm <--> L. Leg (-)
Question 14: In a 12-lead, Color ____ is placed on ____
Answer:
[Lead] WHITE; Right arm Question 15: 12-lead EKG consist of:
Answer:
- limb leads (3 limb electrodes & 1 grounding electrode)
- chest leads (V1-V6)
= 10 leads that create 12 waveforms Question 16: standard & augmented leads and waveforms NOTE:
Answer:
- standard leads l, ll, lll produce POSITIVE deflections on the graph
- augmented lead aVR produces a negative deflection
- augmented lead aVL & aVF produces a POSITIVE deflection
Question 17: which leads produces a negative deflection?
Answer:
aVR
Question 18: In a 12-lead, Color ____ is placed on ____
Answer:
[V5] ORANGE; Aligned with V4 at anterior axillary line
Question 19: In a 12-lead, Color ____ is placed on ____
Answer:
[V1] RED ; Right sternal border, 4th intercostal space
Question 20: unipolar leads
Answer:
from the heart to the ____:
aVR - R. Arm
aVL - L. Arm aVF - L. Foot
Question 21: In a 12-lead, Color ____ is placed on ____
Answer:
[V6] PURPLE; In line with V4 and V5 at mid-axillary line
Question 22: if electrodes produce NO waveforms, what could be wrong?
Answer:
the electrodes may be misplaced
Question 23: In a 12-lead, Color ____ is placed on ____
Answer:
[V]3 GREEN; midway between V2-V4 Question 24: T/F: A multichannel electrocardiograph, such as 3-channel or 6-channel, records multiple leads at once in about 10 seconds
Answer:
T ; Unlike a single-channel ECG, the 3- and 6-channel ECG record multiple leads at once producing a 12-lead ECG in about 10 secs
Question 25: Einthoven's triangle
Answer:
triangle formed from the R. A --> L. A --> L.L Question 26: chest leads and waveforms NOTE:
Answer:
- chest leads/precordial leads V1-V6 provide a view of the heart from different angles
Question 27: what is the grounding lead used for?
Answer:
used to stabilize the ECG but takes NO part in lead formation
