✋5 lead EKG → used to capture the heart rate and cardiac rhythm. Circular electrodes are placed on the skin often for *continuous monitoring* (you’ll see a 5-lead monitoring system with telemetry!)

ASIDE from the obvious number difference, what’s a main difference between 12 lead and 5 lead electrocardiograms?!

A message from Kristine, founder of NurseInTheMaking📣
My name is Kristine and I survived nursing school…and you can too!
Nurse In The Making was inspired during my time in nursing school. I immediately struggled and decided to create my own study guides. These guides have helped me personally as well as many others make nursing school just a little more manageable.I hope you find comfort knowing that everyone struggles at times. Nursing school is emotionally and physically draining. I hope these informative, clean, and simple guides help you navigate through all the information because there is A LOT of it in nursing school.

Happy Studying Future Nurses. Don't forget to enjoy the journey!

Until maintenance repairs frayed leads then you have all red and green lol reality. But taught correctly how it SHOULD be. Don’t trust your patient’s safety to it.
