Why the study?
Few data are available on the impact of the prone position on ECG recordings with electrodes on the posterior chest when standard supine positioning is not possible.
Does the prone position alter 12-lead electrocardiogram parameters compared to the standard supine position in healthy adults?
Does the prone position alter 12-lead electrocardiogram parameters compared to the standard supine position in healthy adults?
Recording an ECG in the prone position leads to significant changes in QRS amplitude, duration, axis, and morphology, which clinicians must recognize to avoid misdiagnosis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Prone ECG with posterior leads produces significant waveform changes; leaves open effects on diagnosis in ARDS patients.
