Moving associated it’s breathing or poor electrode connection. 

Wandering Baseline 

100

what section represents ventricular contraction?

QRS Wave

100

This is the color of the right arm electrode.

White

100

Which lead is on the right sternum?

V1

100

This compontent is known as the “Pacemaker” of the heart.

SA node

200

It occurs when you place the lead in opposite or wrong place.

Which wave represents atrial contraction?

P Wave

200

This is the color of the left foot electrode.

Red

200

Which lead is on the Midclavicular line? 

V4

200

This component sends the signal to the left atrium 

AV node 

300

It occurs when patient is cold or has Parkinson Disease.

300

Which lead is on the left, 4th intercostal space

V2

300

This component transports the signals from the SA node to the AV node?

Bundle of His

400

It occurs when electrode are lose causing a break in the tracing.

400

This are also known as the chest leads 

Precordial Leads

400

This component is known as the “Gatekeeper” in the cardiac conduction cycle 

AV node

Orange

500

Which lead is on the Left Anterior Axillary line?

V5

500

This component is embedded in thee ventricles causing them to contract
