12 Lead EKG (ECG)

Have you ever wondered why a 12 lead ECG only has 10 leads?

[@rupeshbhatta52]

Summary: 12 leads = 12 views of the heart 10 electrodes used. 4 in limbs, 6 in the chest. Right leg is used as a ground (earth). The electrodes in three limbs form a triangle, which gives 6 views ( 3 Biploar views (Lead I, II, III) and 3 unipolar views (aVR, aVL, and aVF). Other 6 leads (views) are obtained from 6 electrodes placed in the chest region that give Horizontal Plane.

Oh my goodness! Why didn't any of my teachers explain it this well? Thank you so much for making this available!

You did what multiple professors and hundreds of other videos on here couldn’t do. This was all I was missing to understand the bigger picture. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Quadflash]

The best explanation of 12 lead ECG I've ever seen. Thank you very much, Dr. Campbell!

[@ecemozturk1136]

Dear Dr. Campbell, thank you for the amazing lecture ! You make the subject easier to understand, you are magnificent teacher !

[@donnawolff5956]

The clearest, easiest to understand explanation of this subject out of the many I've watched, thank you.

[@pygmygiant]

Thank you very much for this, doctor! I wish my trainers were anything like as clear and succinct when explaining these concepts. I'm extremely grateful to you for producing such high quality content.

[@kellyhinson17]

Wow. I have struggled with this concept for two weeks and you explained it in 10 minutes where I perfectly understood it. Thank you so much for posting this video

[@kewanzarifkar903]

Thank you! I'm in Paramedic school and we just started cardiology, our textbook only gives this about 2 paragraphs of explanation before jumping into rhythms. This video helped me to understand how and why the different leads work, rather than "here's how to put the electrodes on, now just look at Lead II mostly".

[@fatimashittu4402]

Thanks for this information, I now know to look at lead II mostly

[@hannahwalmsley107]

This was wonderful. I have been a RN for several years and have struggled with this concept. Thank you!

[@tukni09]

Honestly, I am a Nurse and Physical Therapist by professions. Passed my board exams both in my country and the US; but is only now that 12 lead ekg is clear to me. thank you sir! nice

[@elizabirch5236]

I really appreciated this video. Dr. Campbell explained my questions thoroughly, about why it’s called a 12 lead ecg, when you actually only place 10 leads on the patient. I LOVE learning about the heart, and this video did not disappoint! Thank you, Dr. Campbell.

[@marykuttybabu9803]

Thank you Sir.

[@drameer8631]

Took my whole life to try to understand 12 leads ECG.but now just with in 10 minutes.basic concept has cleared. Thanks a lot sir.

[@theresadixon6596]

Dr. Campble, you are the best. I am an auditory learner first and foremost and a visual learner second, you present both beautifully, I thank you emensly, thank you, thank you.

[@marylynu4236]

This is the simplest explanation I’ve ever received!! I can now say I finally understand this . Thank you so much

[@peacockwing]

This is the clearest explanation I've heard anywhere. My friend suggested this video to me and I'm glad she did. Many thanks!

[@amandasmith7828]

I use this video when I teach my 12 lead class. Thank you for so clearly explaining how the leads work and how we get different views of the heart.

[@millstoneridgecryptid]

Thanks so much, I am working in a coronary care unit on clinical placement at present and ECGs are going to be the death of me..... this is a great simple explanation. Thanks again

[@Kermit_the_DILF]

Thank you so much, Dr.John Campbell! This has been confused me for more than 20 years! I was exhausted! This waked me up! You made it crystal clear!

Thank you Sir. i saw at least 20 videos but they could not grasp this concept. this video got me sorted. Much appreciated!

[@deborshilahiri6882]

[@sogazelle]

[@bb.siopao2504]

Thank you for this. I haven't done the ACLS cause I worked for 5 years in the NICU and ECG skills were barely utilized in our department, if at all. But now I'm trying to transition to adult nursing so I really need to review these topics. This was really helpful, thanks.

[@gabrielleanderson9665]

Fantastic Video! Video summary 10 electrodes are used 12 leads/ format Eidnoven Triangle Lead I,II,III are first Lead I= view from the top RA and LA Lead II= view from the right arm to left leg Lead III= view from left arm and left leg avr= right side view of heart avl= left side view of the heart avf= view from the foot foot= left leg the right leg is used as the ground earrth There is 6 chest lead also known as precordial lead v1 on the 4th intercostal space to the right of the sternum v2 on the 4th intercostal space to the left of the sternum v4 on the 5th intercoastal space left midcalvicular line V3 between the middle of v2 and v4 V5 placed at same level of v4 but at the axillary line V6 placed at level of V5 midaxillarly line The purpose of all these leads is to give us view of the heart from different angles which is important to detect possible heart problems

[@natarajumididoddi5985]

Sir, I thank you very much.you are a very good teacher.you made this difficult topic very easy under 10 minutes.

[@dg2274]

Brilliant. This should be on the curriculum of any one taking the role of lead placement and what they do and the areas of the heart they read. Certainly helps me understand a bit more.

[@ramalingamodium9650]

Such a nice explanation all these years I was reading and reading but couldn’t get , finally I got it by seeing ur video .
