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.
(Refer to the two diagrams for limb electrode placement).
Avoid placing electrodes over tendons and major muscle masses.
Place the precordial electrodes across the chest in the following locations:
Electrode Placement
V1/C1 Fourth intercostal space, at the patient’s right sternal margin.
V2/C2 Fourth intercostal space, at the patient’s left sternal margin.
V3/C3 Midway between V2/C2 and V4/C4.
V4/C4 Fifth intercostal space, on the patient’s midclavicular line.
V5/C5 Patient’s left anterior axillary line, at the horizontal level of V4.
V6/C6 Patient’s left midaxillary line, at the same horizontal level as V4 and V5.
