5 Questions

ECG Lead placement used in large animals

Negative lead = Left jugular groove Positive lead = Left thorax caudal to olecranon Ground lead = Left side of withers

  • = -

Blood

Transverse facial artery = ventral to the facial crest Digital artery = over the palmar/plantar and lateral or medial aspects of the fetlock or pastern Facial artery = most frequent - overlying the ventral border of the ramus of the mandible

  • = -

Match

Halter with chain and lead shank = Commonly used when handling stallions Stocks/chute with head restraint = A good restraint method if minimal movement is required Hobbles = Put on equid legs can keep them from moving while still allowing them to eat grass Twitch = Made of soft rope can be wrapped around the end of the animals nose to keep it still

Match

Hobbles = Put on equid legs to keep them from moving while still allowing them to eat grass Stalls or corrals = Can be used to contain equine but allow full movement of the animal or herd Tranquilization/sedation = May be needed for situations requiring maximal restraint

  • = -

Match

Foreleg lameness = head nods up Rear leg lameness = head goes down when the affected leg touches the floor

  • = - 1 = 1

Study Notes

ECG Lead Placement in Large Animals

  • In large animals, specific ECG lead placement is crucial for accurate electrocardiogram readings
  • The placement of leads is matched to the animal's size and species to ensure optimal signal quality
  • There are three types of leads used in large animal ECGs: bipolar, unipolar, and augmented unipolar
  • Bipolar leads measure the difference in potential between two points on the body
  • Unipolar leads measure the difference in potential between one point on the body and a neutral point
  • Augmented unipolar leads are a combination of bipolar and unipolar leads, providing more detailed information

This quiz covers the proper technique and placement of ECG leads when working with large animals. Test your knowledge on positioning the leads correctly for accurate readings.
