What is the correct positioning of electrodes for ambulatory procedures?

For ambulatory procedures, electrodes are typically positioned based on the specific type of monitoring required, such as ECG or EMG. In an ECG setup, electrodes are placed on the chest in a standardized configuration (V1 to V6) and limb leads (RA, LA, RL, LL) to ensure accurate heart activity recording. Proper skin preparation, including cleaning and possibly shaving, is essential to ensure good adhesion and signal quality. Additionally, the leads should be securely attached to prevent movement artifacts during the procedure.
