It's great how they show to properly place electrodes on a female patient. This video is very thorough and helpful.

Very clear. Easy to understand. I worked as an ECG technician without following a diploma course. A Senior qualified technician he was my employer gave me a training. The information u shared in this video exactly same the way my employer taught me. So i really enjoyed the video.

I was so eager to see the lower limb leads being placed, but you didn't show that part. In fact its the entire reason why I watched the video in the first place. That being said, very thorough video. I learnt so much that i didn't even know that i didn't know.

This is brilliant, I am a new HCA and finding so many variants done in my department. Surely it makes sense to at least keep it the same for the same patient so the repeat ECG is more reliable for the Emergency Doctor who has to interpret and sign it.

Wonderful video. I am a new Cardiographer.This is very helpful.Many thanks😊

This is something the patient takes lying down. The test gets to the heart of the matter. The technician is sticking to the job with the electrodes. At the end of the test the electrodes are a real rip off and have an uplifting experience and a tear-able experience. They also have a pull up and this has nothing to do with children's diapers. This is also a hair raising experience. This results in sticker shock. Electrode installation is a pressing situation. When the patient gets up from the bed, they change their position on the EKG. The success of the test is down to the wire. When I joke about gel, I'm spreading it pretty thin and the gel is a sticky situation.
