Whilst perhaps not a core day to day skill of the medic, being able to take an ECG is a valuable skill. Although perhaps less than the interpretation of the ECG which we will look to cover in another video

The ECG or Electrocardiogram is a core part of any cardiology examination, and thus would expect to undertake in order to complete the cardiac exam - as can be seen here

This video will go over the ECG lead placement for a 12 lead electrocardiogram.

The 12 lead ECG consists of 6 chest leads - lead V1-V6 and four cables to the limbs, allowing the recording of 6 limb leads, leads I, II, III, aVF, aVR and aVL

I have had so many ECG'S in my life. I have a heart condition called Tetralogy Of Fallot. Its really nice to see it being explained. Thank you Dr Gill

[fieldofvision]

Dr gill you are a legend not only i fall asleep everyday to your videos i also educate myself on a subject i never enjoyed at school

[Billy-djzw]

His voice is so soothing and pleasurable. I love him.

[alishbanaz]

Dr James gill always waiting for you video to come out literally your voice is so soothing and relaxing

[derrickw]

Dr . Gill , I'm in the Emergency Medical Services field here in the United States employed as a paramedic .12 lead ECG electrodes vary by the brand of ECG monitor used . Our service uses the Zoll X Series which allows us to pace as well .

[FraddersGaming]

You're not just interesting. Your voice is soo soothing and I suggest students genuinely watch your videos

[captainafrica]

Am cardiac sonographer and cardiovascular tech, here in Africa the machine and the leads are too big and vary heavy, I wish we had simple and advanced machined like yours. thank for you detailed lesson

[chuckoneill]

I take it the name was a call back to the earlier ECG video? Nice to see that, this time, all the patient data matched up.

[estfloor]

I'm not sure if I heard correctly, Is his name Mickey Mouse?

[toiletsinjapan]

Glad to see you guys using proper component video cables, however that is the most bizarre television I have ever seen in my life.

[jamierife]

Hey I just noticed 109K subscribers now! Doc's channel has come a long way since the first 1, 000 subs two years ago, which we thought then was a big deal! Congrats James!

[starfishgurl]

Also, I don’t know why but I love staring at ECG readouts for some reason, so calming I guess. I’m also fascinated by the differences in peoples pulses at resting rates too, like for instance mine is always 64 when they measure it for blood donation appointments.

[ridculley]

I generally speaking watch these vids at least twice, once fully paying attention and once to infinity times for the asmr :D

[Jonathan-gjfe]

Always have to watch these at least two or three times. Lol. The ASMR vibes lulls me to a point where I dont pay proper attention to the actual examination steps. That's a compliment, Dr Gill. Honestly. :)

On a tangential point... have we seen the last of our favourite lockdown era patient, David?

[jorgecardoso]

I keep reading "EGG LEAD placement" and can't help but imagine Dr. Gill with a menacing looking egg made out of lead, while staring at the patient

[leahmorgan]

Patient said his birthday was March 22nd, happy early birthday to him!

[May-enmx]

Excellent presentation!! Happy to watch this video. Thank you

[eaglebreath]

I had one of these yesterday and said the colour initialism. Got a.funny look, perhaps it isn't as popular a learning technique in Canada.

[toluwanimiogbonmide]

Hello Dr. Gil! Thank you for the video.

I only see 10 leads placed in this video. Where would you place the other 2?
