A 3-lead cardiac monitor is a medical device used to monitor a patient's heart rhythm and rate. It consists of three electrodes that are attached to the patient's chest, typically on the right clavicle, left lower chest, and left upper chest. The electrodes are connected to the monitor, which displays the electrical activity of the heart in real-time.
In a 3-lead cardiac monitor, the "3" refers to the number of electrodes that are used to monitor the patient's heart.
