This ECG was read as “No STEMI” with no prior available for comparison. It is true this ECG does not meet STEMI criteria (there is 1.0 Armstrong et al. The Queen of Hearts sees it of course: Still none of these three ECGs meet STEMI criteria. Instead we discussed 5 minute delays for the STEMI(+) OMI patients.
The ECG shows obvious STEMI(+) OMI due to probable proximal LAD occlusion. Epinephrine infusion was begun. In this study — Procainamide was superior to Amiodarone for terminating monomorphic VT, as well as having fewer adverse effects than Amiodarone ( Ortiz et al — Eur Heart J 1;38 (17): 1329-1335, 2017 ).
Here is his ED ECG: There is obvious infero-posterior STEMI. What are you worried about in addition to his STEMI? Comments: STEMI with hypokalemia, especially with a long QT, puts the patient at very high risk of Torsades or Ventricular fibrillation (see many references, with abstracts, below). There is atrial fibrillation.
STEMI , ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction ). 1 Initial diagnosis of STEMI ECG Management Recommendation Level of evidence A 12-lead ECG should be interpreted immediately (within 10 minutes) at first medical contact. I C If possible, patients should bypass non-PCI centres to a PCI-capable centre.
With ventilations and epinephrine, she regained a pulse. Note that they finally have laid to rest the new or presumably new LBBB as a criteria for STEMI. Note that they finally have laid to rest the new or presumably new LBBB as a criteria for STEMI. Kurkciyan et al. In 25 (93%), the initial rhythm was asystole or PEA.
Fine ventricular fibrillation She received 2 mg epinephrine, 150 mg amiodarone and underwent chest compressions with the LUCAS device. The last section is a detailed discussion of the research on aVR in both STEMI and NonSTEMI. She arrived in the ED 37 minutes after 911 was called, with continuing CPR. see below). see below).
He underwent CPR, and regained a pulse after epinephrine, with an organized narrow complex rhythm at 140, but still with severe shock. 3–8 Shi et al. In a series of 18 patients with COVID and ST elevation, 8 were diagnosed with STEMI, 6 of whom had an angiogram and it showed obstructive coronary disease.
Clinical Course The paramedic activated a “Code STEMI” alert and transported the patient nearly 50 miles to the closest tertiary medical center. 2 The astute paramedic recognized this possibility and announced a CODE STEMI. Taglieri N, Marzocchi A, Saia F, et al. Kosuge M, Ebina T, Hibi K, et al. What do you see?
After epinephrine, atropine, and defibrillation x 2, there was a return of pulses. There is ST depression in II, III, and aVF that is concerning for reciprocal depression from high lateral STEMI in aVL, where there is some ST elevation. Plummer D et al. She collapsed and 911 was called; she was found pulseless.
Resuscitated with chest compressions, epinephrine. A 12-lead was recorded, showing "STEMI," but is unavailable. including epinephrine, and there was ROSC. This is what the providers in the ED understood on patient arrival: Patient called 911 for syncope, then had witnessed PEA arrest after medics arrived. Not a shockable rhythm.
