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.

Snow over grass
Smoke over fire
Brown on the ground

White Black
Brown
Green Red

Congrats! Now you know how to do a 5-lead placement!
