ECG Monitoring Preparation and Lead Placement
4.5.3.7 Lead Placement: Neonates
Using a 3-wire lead set, ECG lead placement on a neonate is usually directed towards
obtaining the best possible respiration data through the ECG thoracic impedance technique.
Thoracic impedance is usually measured between the Right Arm and Left Arm electrode
patches. These patches should be placed on the chest directly across from each other to
optimize the measuring of the neonate’s chest movement. The recommended lead placement
for neonate monitoring is as follows.
