The proper placement for ECG electrodes, such as when using the Welch Allyn ECG Multifunction Electrode Clip (Set of 10), involves attaching four limb electrodes to the right arm, left arm, right leg (usually as a ground), and left leg. Six chest (precordial) electrodes are then positioned: V1 at the fourth intercostal space to the right of the sternum, V2 at the fourth intercostal space to the left of the sternum, V3 between V2 and V4, V4 at the fifth intercostal space at the midclavicular line, V5 at the same level as V4 at the anterior axillary line, and V6 at the same level as V4 at the midaxillary line. Using the Welch Allyn ECG Multifunction Electrode Clip ensures secure and accurate electrode placement for reliable ECG readings.
