12-Lead ECG Placement: Stop Guessing Where V1 Goes. Proper ECG lead placement matters. Moving a precordial electrode even a small distance can change the tracing, mimic pathology, hide real findings, and ultimately affect how that ECG is interpreted. In this video, we break down proper 12-lead ECG electrode placement, including: • How to correctly locate V1–V6 • Finding the intercostal spaces • ECG placement in patients with breast tissue • Why anatomical landmarks matter • How bad electrode placement can create a bad ECG A 12-lead is one of the fastest and most diagnostically valuable tests we have, but only if we put the damn leads where they belong. Whether you’re an EMT, paramedic, nurse, medical student, ECG tech, or other healthcare professional, get the fundamentals right first. Physiology first. Fundamentals always. #ems #paramedic #emt #podcast #neuroscience #greenscreen #ECG #EKG #12LeadECG #ECGPlacement #EKGPlacement #Cardiology #Paramedic #EMS #EMT #Nursing #MedicalEducation #emergencymedicine #medical #EmergencyMedicine #Dirtyberg

Today we talk about hemodialysis access sites (fistulas, grafts, and dialysis catheters) and how to manage them when they bleed.

A tourniquet only works if you can get it on quickly and effectively when seconds matter. This is the set up and self-application method we teach to maximize speed, consistency, and reliability under stress. Train deliberately. Practice often. Perform when it counts. #Dirtyberg #Tourniquet #EMS #StopTheBleed #EmergencyMedicine
