The ECG machine is reading “ERROR—Check lead placement.” Which of the following requires correction?
Group of answer choices
V6 at left midaxillary line at level of V4 horizontally.
V5 at left anterior axillary line at level of V4 horizontally.
V2 at fifth intercostal space midclavicular line.
V1 at fourth intercostal space at right sternal angle.
Answer: - V2 at fifth intercostal space midclavicular line.
Reason ; Among the listed ECG leads the above mentioned lead is placed in a inappropriate location that results in the ECG error. Actually these lead should be placed right as similar to the V1 ECG lead but in the left side of the sternal angle and same as the 4th intercostal space. Therefore the above mentioned ECG leads need to be corrected to get the correct reading in the ECG.
