This is a case I had quite a while back. The patient with no prior cardiac history presented in the middle of the night with acute chest pain, and had this ECG recorded during active pain: I did not see any ischemia on this electrocardiogram. It does not look entirely normal, since there are some nonspecific STT abnormalities, such as flattening of the T waves in aVL.

Summary In this episode, Ed and Dan discuss several topics related to medicine and EMS in 2023. They start by reviewing a study on the use of nitroglycerin in acute pulmonary edema and congestive heart failure, highlighting its positive effects on blood pressure and oxygenation. They then move on to a comparison of succinylcholine and rocuronium in rapid sequence intubation (RSI), concluding that the choice of paralytic agent may not significantly impact outcomes.

What is that and what are some examples of what i should put there because I'm not really sure. Would I put something like: patient complains of chest pain that started about an hour ago that radiates to their jaw.
