explain unipolar leads and bipolar leads..in brief
Answers
Answer:
A unipolar lead is a single conductor lead with an electrode located at the tip. A bipolar lead has two separate and isolated conductors within a single-lead; the distal electrode is located at the tip of the lead and the other one is usually about 2 cm more proximal.
Explanation:
Unipolar and bipolar biosignals'
ECG (electrocardiography) is used to recognise and record any electrical activity of the heart AT THE BODY SURFACE. The device uses electrodes that are placed on the patient’s limbs and chest. Those are the leads that detect the electrical activity within the heart. In a conventional 12 lead ECG, the heart’s electrical potential is measured from 12 different angles (leads). I’m going to discuss leads called the standard limb leads, also called bipolar leads, and augmented unipolar leads. These leads help us identify electrical biosignals within the heart 4 peripheral leads are attached to the right and left wrist and right and left ankle, where the RIGHT ankle is neutral (no electrical charge). These 9 leads are seeing the heart in some kind of tunnel vision, which makes them unipolar.
I hope this answer may help u....
