Patients should be in a resting, supine position when performing 12-Lead ECG monitoring.
ZOLL Medical Corporation recommends placing the limb electrodes anywhere along the
ankles and wrists.
When it is difficult for the patient to remain motionless due to shivering, muscle tremors, or
transport vehicle movement, place limb electrodes on the patient’s thorax for better results.
