Pain improved to 1/10 after EMS administers 324 mg aspirin and the following EKG is obtained at triage. C Examination notable for diaphoresis, 1+ bilateral lower extremity edema, regular heart rate and rhythm, and no signs of respiratory distress with normal breath sounds. The patient was upgraded to the ICU for closer monitoring.
A 65 y/o Female was admitted to the ICU for septic shock. Question 1: What is the rhythm? Beat 1 : Sinus, narrow QRS complex. The assumption is that a premature complex discharged prior to Beat 1, which prolonged its respective refractory period in the same manner as Beat 5.
A 70-year-old female with a past medical history of hypertension, coronary artery disease s/p 2x drug eluting stent placement one month ago, atrial fibrillation on apixaban presents to the ED with weakness and lightheadedness. 1 Risk Factors: 1-4 Spontaneous Anticoagulants (Apixaban, Rivaroxaban, etc.)
He was admitted to the ICU and was unstable, in shock, overnight. Learning Points: 1. If the situation is not right for acute coronary occlusion, then the ECG findings probably do not represent acute coronary occlusion. For clarity in Figure-1 — I've reproduced and put these first 2 ECGs together.
On review of systems the patient reported back pain for approximately 1 week which he was treating with NSAIDs with minimal relief. in the ICU but survived with excellent function. 15-9/6/2017 ). Figure-1: Excerpt from ESC review on acute pericarditis ( See text ).
Most agents exhibit both vasopressor and inotropic effects (Figure 1). Below follows a drug manual for use in the CCU (coronary care unit), ICU (intensive care unit) or ER (emergency room). μg/kg/min + + + ++ Low dose dopamine stimulates D1 receptors and induces vasodilation in coronary, renal, cerebral and mesenteric vessels.
The neurologic section was divided into (1) brain oxygenation, perfusion, edema, and intracranial pressure (ICP); (2) seizures and the ictal-interictal continuum (IIC); and (3) sedation and analgesia. Digestive Management Takeaway: Start enteral feeds when the patient gets to the ICU. 2023 Dec 1. Start low and go slow.
1 The primary goal of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is to optimize coronary perfusion pressure and maintain systemic perfusion in order to prevent neurologic and other end-organ damage while working to achieve ROSC. Kirkegaard H, Soreide E, de Haas, I et al. De Fazio C, Skrifvars MB, Soreide E et al. 2019;23(1):1–9.
A CT was obtained later and showed appropriate positioning of the catheter: She was admitted to the ICU and the catheter was used several times to withdraw more fluid. 1 week later (about 1 week prior to the tamponade visit) she had a follow up outpatient visit and this ECG was recorded: Appears to show resolving findings.
1 Indications for transplant include: Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (49%) Ischemic cardiomyopathy (35%) Restrictive cardiomyopathy (4%) Retransplantation following failed prior transplant (3%) Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (3%) Congenital heart disease (3%) Valvular cardiomyopathy (3%) The median survival after heart transplant is over 12 years.

Chu CK, Delia E, Mograder A, Dwyer EM. 2017;45(1):12-20. He has clinically deteriorated and required intubation.
This is likely because Dexmed helps dampen the sympathetic response to perioperative stress, improving coronary artery perfusion. While no paediatric studies have confirmed this, the DICE trial ( D exmedetomidine in I nfants undergoing C ooling for Neonatal E ncephalopathy) is underway. 2014;55(1):209-215. 2023;23(1):341.
