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

<p>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</p> <ul> <li>= -</li> </ul> Signup and view all the answers

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
