Any Electrical Activity?
Check the ECG to see if there is electrical activity on every one of the leads.
If any areas are flatlined then this can suggest that one of the leads has fallen off or there has been an arrest.
Electrical Activity in All Areas
This is a normal ECG trace in sinus rhythm with electrical activity in all leads.
No Electrical Activity in Two Areas
In this ECG trace notice that there is a flatline in the limb lead II and II areas.
This means that one of the stickers holding the leads on has fallen off. Can you work out which one?
(Left leg - green lead)
