ECG MONITORING
PLACEMENT FOR PACED PATIENTS (AHA)
For ECG cable lead sets with AHA (USA) lead designations, the optimal electrode placement
for patients with pacemakers may be as illustrated in Figure 7 below:
RA (White)
1. Position the right arm (RA) electrode on the right mid-clavicular line, 5
2. Position the left arm (LA) electrode on the left mid-clavicular line, directly below the
clavicle.
3. Position the left leg (LL) electrode on the left mid-clavicular line, 6
space.
PLACEMENT FOR PACED PATIENTS (IEC)
For ECG cable lead sets with IEC (Europe) lead designations, the optimal electrode
placement for patients with pacemakers may be as illustrated in Figure 8 below:
R (Red)
1. Position the right arm (R) electrode on the right mid-clavicular line, directly below the clavicle.
2. Position the left arm (L) electrode on the left mid-clavicular line, directly below the clavicle.
3. Position the left leg (F) electrode on the left mid-clavicular line, 6
