I’m surprised it’s not 120, that’s usually a common guess!

I thought it could be 90, but 60 makes sense too.

I recall that the mean QRS axis can vary, but I think I ruled out -30. I’m stuck between 60 and 90.

I feel like I should be able to calculate this, but the angles are throwing me off. Was it 60 or 90 degrees?

I think I saw a similar question in our review session. I might lean towards option B, but I’m not completely confident.

I remember practicing QRS axis determination, but I’m not sure how to apply it to these leads.

No problem, I've got this. Determining the QRS axis is a straightforward process, I just need to apply it correctly.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully examine the leads and think through the axis calculation.

I agree with Theron, -30 seems to be the most appropriate mean QRS axis.

Wow, I guess the electrical activity in the heart is just going in circles or something. 120 degrees? That's like a ninja move, not an ECG reading!

I'm a little confused here. Is the question asking about the mean QRS axis or the mean axis of the entire ECG? That could make a difference in the answer.

Well, based on the extremity leads shown in the figure, I think -30 makes more sense.

90 degrees? Really? That would be a vertical axis, and the leads don't look like that at all. I'm going with 60 degrees.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The leads seem to be showing a left-axis deviation, so I think the answer might be -30 degrees.

I disagree, I believe it is -30.

The mean QRS axis is clearly 60 degrees. This is the only option that aligns with the characteristic appearance of the extremity leads in the figure.
