Limb leads
|
6 leads which uses the leads from the patient's limbs including lead I, II, III, aVR, aVL, and aVF. Looks at the heart from the sides and from the feet, in the vertical plane shoing the viewpoints of each limb leads.
|

|
|
Percordial leads
|
Also called chest leads, anterior leads, or V leads. Includes V1 to V6. These leads look at the heart in a horizontal plane providing a picture taken from the front and the left side.

When a current moves towards a lead, it creates...
|
a positive (upright) deflection on the ECG tracing of the lead.

Ischemia
|
Tissue anoxia from diminished blood flow to tissue, usually caused by narrowing or occlusionof the artery.
Shows on an ECG as T-Wave inversion, and ST-segment depression with the onset of ischemia. |
27.69 and 89
|
|
Injury shows as
|
ST-segment elevation within minutes to hours.
|
27.69
|
|
Infarction
|
Death (necrosis) of a localized area of tissue caused by the cutting off of its blood supply.
Appears as a pathological Q wave within several hours to several days. |
27.69 and 89
|
|
If your patient is having an inferior AMI check
|
V4R as 40% of inferior AMI patients will be having a right ventricular MI. They may already be hypotensive, and this puts them at high risk for hypotensive from nitro or morphine, may require giving pt 1 to 2 L of NS before giving nitro. (follow protocol)
|

|
What is the most important question about a patient's 12-Lead EKG in prehospital?
|
Does this patient have ECG evidence of ischemia, injury, or infarction?
