This video demonstrates how to place electrodes for a 5 lead placement for a cardiac/telemetry monitor for a patient to wear during a hospitalization. I discuss the Right Arm Lead (RA), Right Leg Lead (RL), V1 chest lead, Left Arm Lead (LA), Left Leg Lead (LL) and how to remember the placement of a telemetry monitor white, green, brown, black, and red (snow over grass, smoke over fire, and chocolate in the middle)
