Memory tools are ever-so-useful. So here’s a quick way to remember the correct order to put on the leads that hook a patient up to the monitors. There are five leads in various colors and when in a hurry, it can get confusing. So, here’s the nitty gritty.
White on the right
Snow over grass
Smoke over fire
