An electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode placement device comprising:

• a body comprising a plurality of extension members, wherein the body comprises a base layer composed of a flexible material, an adhesive layer composed of a flexible material, and a backing layer attached to an adhesive surface of the adhesive layer;
• a plurality of screen-printed electrodes positioned on the body, wherein each of the screen-printed electrodes has a first section with an elongated component and a circular component and a second section with an elongated component and a concentric component, the second section partially encompassing the first section;
• wherein each of the plurality of extension members extend outward from a center of the body for proper placement of the plurality of electrodes on a patient;
• wherein each extension member has a first relaxed length ranging from 7.0 to 14.0 inches and each is stretchable to a second length ranging from 10.0 to 16.5 inches;
• wherein a center of the body is configured to be applied to an anterior chest wall overlying the sternum symmetrically at a level above the nipple line of the patient and below the sternal notch;
• wherein a precordial extension member of the plurality of extension members is configured to be stretched to a lateral chest wall of the patient at the mid axillary line below the nipple line;
• wherein a right upper extremity extension member of the plurality of extension members is stretched towards the right shoulder;
• a left upper extremity extension member of the plurality of extension members is configured to be stretched towards the left shoulder;
• a right lower extremity extension member of the plurality of extension members is configured to be stretched to the right lower abdominal quadrant;
• and
• a left lower extremity extension member of the plurality of extension members is configured to be stretched to the left lower abdominal quadrant.
