I have often written about how an ECG interpreted as "normal" by a conventional algorithm may well be manifesting OMI, or even long QT or hyperkalemia. I have collected 51 OMI cases that were diagnosed as completely normal by the conventional automated computer algorithm. It is not yet available, but this is your way to get on the list.

Protocols Every EMS agency should have protocols for dealing with agitated or violent patients. We’re defining “protocol” here as a written document that provides oversight from the medical director about how to assess and treat patients. Sometimes these can also be referred to as guidelines, standing orders, policies, or procedures.

Aslanger's is a combination of inferior OMI with widespread ST depression and is due to BOTH occlusion of one artery (usually the circumflex, but sometimes the RCA) AND simultantous 3 vessel disease. The ST depression vector includes these leads and cancels out the STE of the inferior OMI.

But what about the patient who is agitated, and is a potential danger to themselves or to the ED staff? Do we Redirect? Patient that are agitated should always be treated with dignity and respect.

I liken an anxiolytic or agitation med to taking medicine for pain – “we are not drugging you” we want to help you feel better. Holding down and giving a “shot” is traumatic.

One study found that mental health ED visits for children increased by 8% annually with 13% of those children presenting again within 6 months. They identified that patients with psychotic disorders, disruptive or impulse control disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders were at higher risk for having revisits.
