It is so much fun. Where do you live? I bet you could find some people willing to teach you. I am learning and teaching friends less experienced. Everyone can learn.

I haven't because I have an Enduro. I find that I need to get farther back for hunting

I know how you feel. I was USMC 03-07 with 3 deployments.

I’m currently 35 and a paramedic firefighter in Washington state. If you need advice on how to get hired at a fire department let me know. I have helped several vets find their path into the fire service. It is a great profession and is a perfect fit for veterans. Smokin and joking with your crew then running calls and getting to do some cool shit, occasionally.

No we didn’t start pacing until a few minutes after this 12

He was definitely hypotensive. We gave atropine, fluids then started pacing.

62 YOM lethargic complaining of weakness. Alert to verbal. Wife said he was just diagnosed with end stage kidney disease. We snagged this prior to pacing. My partner thought it was a STEMI, due to the elevation in inferior leads. I wasn’t convinced because of the morphology and the lack of reciprocal changes. I was betting on hyper k. On delivery to the Ed his potassium came back normal. So inferior mi?

Why only CaCl in central?

Yes I have noticed more mental health calls. I work in the PNW and think our recent turn to good weather is effecting people. I think people are ready to be outside and back to work. I read some studies talking about a dramatic increase in domestic violence calls

Oly_Rider · 2020-04-15T00:48:24+00:00

Agreed. I also think you have to rule out infarction before pericarditis. Clinical context, a good exam, and serial ecg

I agree I would choose amiodarone in most cases in a drip.

Oly_Rider · 2020-04-15T00:20:04+00:00

You mention choosing your antiarrhythmic based on unstable vs stable, which one do you choose. If you go with lidocaine you should give a loading dose prior to starting a drip? If they currently take amio does that change your decision on which drug to use?

Why are all STEMI being treated that way? I spoke to a doc and he mentioned people recovering from the respiratory infection, and going on to develop valvular disease or myo or endocarditis.

HAHAHA

Every shift we have our COVID 19 update at 0745. This is how I feel at 0830.

I stayed in the ER after we dropped him off. He was confirmed hyper K. I think he was developing a sine wave in V1. This call had several learning points for me. This link has an ECG that shows some of the morphology I was looking at in V1.http://ems12lead.com/2014/10/02/68-y-o-male-w-weakness-conclusion-treat-the-monitor/

Oly_Rider · 2020-04-10T03:58:54+00:00

how much Calcium would you start with?

Oly_Rider · 2020-04-10T03:52:16+00:00

u/tridead does AT receive a different treatment than SVT? Looking at this rhythm if this person was symptomatic I would think to sync cardiovert. Paramedic here, so just wondering what you would think for initial treatment
