Abstract
A method of placing ECG electrodes in an environment where persons of limited training are available includes making a trial placement of the electrodes. Then, testing the electrodes and evaluating signals from the electrodes as a result of the testing. Verbal or visual feedback can be provided to the person placing the electrodes so that placed electrodes could be adjusted as needed.
