Exam 4 - Lecture 5 Flashcards
in augmented leads, a stands for
augmented
aVR means
augmented, voltage, right arm has positive electrode
aVL means
augmented, voltage, left arm has positive electrode
aVF means
augmented, voltage, left foot has positive electrode
Augmented leads are ____ positive electrode, and ____ negative electrode.
One; Two
what would aVR read with a normal healthy heart during contraction? Where is the “negative” electrode?
negative deflection, since its running perfectly away from the positive electrode in the left arm.
it uses the middle area directly between left arm electrode and left leg electrode.
What lead would be able to look right between lead II and Lead III?
aVF
What degree angle is between standard leads and augmented leads?
30 degrees
aVR used leads at ____ and ____ to gather information
Left arm and left foot
aVL uses leads at ___ and ___ to gather information
Right arm and left foot
aVF uses leads at ___ and ____ to gather information
Right arm and left arm
aVF is using the positive or negative charge from which limbs?
Positive charge from the foot, and the negative average charge of the right and left arm
aVR is using the positive or negative charge from which limbs?
Positive right arm, and using the negative average charge from the left arm and the left foot.
aVL is using the positive or negative charge from which limbs?
Positive left arm, and using the negative average charge from the right arm and left foot.
All of the V-leads use _____ as the negative electrodes.
The negative charges of the limb-leads. Right arm/left arm, left foot.
