Question

across
3 the printed ekg
5 the leads that require the ekg machine to increase the voltage so the waves and complexes are visible
6 leads that use only a positive pole and a negative reference point
7 a diagram made by joining three leads at
down
1 the bipolar and augmented leads are also called ______ leads because of their location on the front of the body.
2 lead ii’s qrs complex should be ______.
4 leads located on the chest
8 the space between the ribs
9 einthoven’s ______ is obtained by joining leads i, ii, and iii at the ends.

Explanation:

1. Across 3: The printed output of an EKG is an electrocardiogram tracing, commonly referred to as an EKG Strip (matches the length of the empty grid).
2. Across 5: These leads (augmented limb leads) need the machine to amplify voltage, so they are Augmented leads.
3. Across 6: Leads with one positive pole and a negative reference are Unipolar leads.
4. Across 7: Joining Einthoven's three leads forms a Triangle (already filled, matches the clue).
5. Down 1: Bipolar and augmented limb leads are on the front torso, so they are Anterior leads.
6. Down 2: Lead II's QRS complex should be Positive (it is upright in normal tracings).
7. Down 4: Chest-located EKG leads are Precordial leads.
8. Down 8: The space between ribs is an Intercostal space.
9. Down 9: Joining leads I, II, III forms Einthoven's Triangle (matches the filled grid).

Answer:

Across:

1. EKG Strip
2. Augmented
3. Unipolar
4. Triangle (filled)

Down:

1. Anterior
2. Positive
3. Precordial
4. Intercostal
5. Triangle (filled)
