Does the modified six-lead KardiaMobile device provide feasible and high-quality ECG tracings compared to standard 12-lead ECG in children under three years of age?
Modified acquisition techniques for the six-lead KardiaMobile device can yield high-quality ECG tracings in children under three years of age, supporting its potential utility for early pediatric monitoring.
The use of the six‑lead AliveCor KardiaMobile (6LACKM) has not been thoroughly evaluated in children under three years of age. This report presents our initial experience with modified 6LACKM ECG acquisition techniques tailored to this population, including hand-assisted chest placement and adhesive electrodes adaptation, in various patient states and positions. In a prospective study, we aim to assess the feasibility of 6LACKM in this population and compare its diagnostic quality to standard 12‑lead ECG. Our preliminary experience demonstrate that high-quality tracings can be obtained with the proposed approaches, supporting the potential utility of 6LACKM in early pediatric electrocardiographic monitoring.
