emergency departments (EDs), with statistics reporting more than 356,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests per year. 2 Standard management for VT and VF involves the use of electrical defibrillation, high-quality chest compressions, and epinephrine.

He was defibrillated into VT. He then underwent dual sequential defibrillation into asystole. The patient was brought to the ED and had this ECG recorded: What do you think?

She was unable to be defibrillated but was cannulated and placed on ECMO in our Emergency Department (ECLS - extracorporeal life support). After good ECMO flow was established, she was successfully defibrillated. Here is a case of ECMO defibrillation with near shark fin that was due to proximal LAD occlusion. The K was normal.

On arrival to the ED, this ECG was recorded: What do you think? Although one may have all kinds of ischemic findings as a result of cardiac arrest (rather than cause of cardiac arrest), this degree of ST elevation and HATW is all but diagnostic of acute proximal LAD occlusion. This prompted cath lab activation. The April 8, 2022 post by Drs.
