Question
the bipolar leads are attached to which parts of the body?
a upper left and right sides of the chest
b upper outer thighs and inner lower forearms.
c upper outer arms and inner lower calves
d upper inner arms and outer lower calves
Bipolar leads are used in electrocardiography (ECG). In a standard bipolar limb lead setup (such as lead I), the positive electrode is on the left arm (upper outer arm) and the negative electrode is on the right arm. But if we consider the more general concept of bipolar leads placement for some basic monitoring (in a simplified sense related to limb - lead bipolar concept), the correct placement for a basic bipolar - like connection (in terms of limb leads which are a type of bipolar - related in measurement principle) is upper outer arms (for arm electrodes) and inner lower calves (for leg electrodes as part of the limb lead system).
