how to do EKG

EKG is pretty simple. Just place electrodes on patients with clothes off and that's pretty much all there is to it. Here's a picture of a man that shows where the electrodes are to be placed, indicated by yellow squares.



The squares' sizes are irrelevant. Those four little squares right below his left chest means that they are to be placed on the same line of his rib.

It takes less than a minute to get a reading. A typical reading is shown in my previous post on EKG.
