These medications are a vital tool in the care of ED patients, from simple local analgesia for a laceration repair to regional analgesia for painful procedures. 1,2] Consider using a physiological marker to help identify inadvertent vascular injection, such as epinephrine.

Attention was turned to the consideration of severe coronary vasospasm as the inciting event for cardiopulmonary arrest and the nidus for refractory ventricular fibrillation. Traditional Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) medications, namely epinephrine, have been known to exacerbate coronary vasospasm. (Click to enlarge.)

Ed and Dan sit down with Dr. Peter Antevy and talk about how we can do better with pediatric arrests. But we need to prepare for these low-frequency, high-stress events to give out patients every possible chance to survive. And the results show it. On another note, go to [link] to see the talk that inspired this episode.

When simple maneuvers fail, we proceed to topical agents such as lidocaine with epinephrine, oxymetazoline, anterior nasal packing, and electrical or chemical cauterization. TXA has become the standard practice in the ED based on small RCTs, though larger trials have not demonstrated the same benefit ( REBEL EM review ).

They stated that the patient was coded for 20 minutes, including multiple doses of epinephrine, and they also gave glucose, calcium, and bicarb. As stated above, resuscitation included epinephrine, calcium, and bicarb. Dr. Meyers skillfully walks us through the events in this case, with important lessons to be learned.

On arrival in the ED, she was profoundly hypotensive, nearly obtunded, and bradycardic. At about 30 minutes after presentation, the patient had acceptable vital signs with the TVP and low dose epinephrine drip. The ED team again pointed out the evidence of inferoposterior OMI, this time by the modified Sgarbossa criteria.

This is a 30-something healthy patient presented with COVID pneumonia who presented to the ED. He underwent CPR, and regained a pulse after epinephrine, with an organized narrow complex rhythm at 140, but still with severe shock. He was moderately hypoxic. He had the following EKG recorded: Low voltage, suggests effusion.

The patient was brought directly to the cardiac catheterization lab for PCI, bypassing the ED. Folland ED, et al. In addition, the patient received 750 mL of fluid resuscitation with transient improvement of blood pressure. In the cath lab, the patient’s blood pressure remained low. The mean MAP for these patients was 81 +/- 13.

The call involved a sick patient where the student, who was on the verge of going to boards, pulled out the wrong concentration of epinephrine. A debrief for a student is a critical event. Imaging, labs, and ED level care has strong value in reinforcing why a case went the way it did, or how we can learn for the next one.

Prior to this intervention, management in the ED is mainly supportive of the patient’s hemodynamic and cardiac status. Because takotsubo syndrome is often clinically indistinguishable from acute myocardial infarction, primary management includes cardiac catheterization for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention.
