ECG Cases 58 – ACLS Dysrhythmia Pitfalls, Part 1: Unstable Bradycardia – BRADI mnemonic
In this ECG Cases blog with Dr. Jesse McLaren we go through exemplary cases and look for reversible causes of secondary BRADIcardias, some of which can be identified on 12-lead ECG: BRASH/hyperkalemia requiring empiric calcium, Reduced vitals requiring support (eg hypoxia, hypothermia), Acute coronary occlusion (especially inferior/posterior) requiring reperfusion, Drugs requiring withholding or reversal, and ICH requiring surgery or Infection (eg lyme) requiring antibiotics...

ECG Cases 56 – Art of Occlusion MI Part 4: Sequence Photos
In this month's ECG Cases Dr. McLaren explores how sequence photos help identify Occlusion MI. He illustrates through cases how hyperacute T waves and subtle ST elevation with reciprocal ST depression can provide an early snapshot of occlusion MI – and might remain the only sign of occlusion. How resolution of ischemic symptoms along with regional T wave inversion (or reciprocally tall anterior T waves) can indicate spontaneous reperfusion, while subacute and persisting symptoms with Q waves and T wave inversion indicate refractory occlusion. And how spontaneous reperfusion is at risk for reocclusion, with recurrence of ischemic symptoms accompanied by ST/T pseudonormalization and then hyperacute T waves and ST elevation.
Ep 204 High Risk Pulmonary Embolism Management
There are many nuances in the management of patients with pulmonary embolism in cardiac arrest, peri-arrest or simply in shock: We need to optimize oxygenation and airway management, hemodynamic support, acid/base management, thrombolysis and/or catheter-directed therapies that Anton dives into with guest experts Dr. Lauren Westafer, Dr. Bourke Tillmann and Dr. Justin Morgenstern...
