In today’s blog, we take a closer look at 10 of the most common reasons that people call for an ambulance. From an asthma attack to an overdose causing impaired breathing, we’ve seen our fair share of respiratory emergencies. That being said, the underlying reason for the call may be similar. What Are The Most Common Emergencies?
male presents because he "thought he might be having a heartattack." First, this patient had a known stent in the "marginal" artery and thought he was having a heartattack. Case 2 A 38 year old male with h/o smoking only c/o a few hours of severe substernal chest pain; he thinks he is having a heartattack.
He noted that his father died from a heartattack in his early 50s prompting his presentation to the emergency department. He reported substernal chest pressure with radiation to his left arm that started at work several hours prior to arrival and had somewhat improved since onset.
He reported a history of “Wolf-Parkinson-White” and “heartattack” but said neither had been treated. This has been discussed many times before on this blog. In-depth discussion is beyond the scope of this blog. These diagnoses were not found in his medical records nor even a baseline ECG.
In this blog, we will tell you some key signs that indicate you are a suitable candidate for the job of an EMT. For instance, it can be bleeding, seizures or fit, heartattack, stroke, sudden breathing issue, or some other health problem or accident. This job calls for patience, dedication, and commitment. What are those signs?
He stated it was similar to prior heartattacks. We've shown many cases on Dr. Smith's ECG Blog of subtle ECG findings that rapidly evolve into dramatic ST-T wave changes. The pain was still ongoing at arrival. He also noted a bilateral "odd feeling" in his arms. But we should not be surprised.
He reportedly told his family "I think I'm having a heartattack", then they immediately drove him to the ED, and he was able to ambulate into the triage area before he collapsed and became unresponsive. CPR was initiated immediately.
That said — acute MI does occur in younger patients ( witness the case referred to above by Dr. Smith — as well as the links from Dr. Meyers at the end of his discussion that refer to multiple cases published on Dr. Smith’s ECG Blog of young adults with acute MI ). Was this coincidence?
” A “code” for EMTs means the most severe medical emergency—a heartattack, with breathing and circulation compromised. A “non-code” is less severe- someone who is having an asthma attack or a person who is experiencing a seizure. Distinguish Between “Code” and a “Non-Code.”
He reports this was similar to how he felt when he had his heartattack 4 years prior, now s/p 4 stents. As per Dr. Smith this patient has known coronary disease from a previous MI, and in his words his CP ( C hest P ain ) felt "like his previous heartattack". We are not told how ECG #1 was interpreted.
