With this rate, I'd simply go with a WCT, though there is positive concordance, so yes ventricular in nature I would guess as well.

I get the on scene complaint being R. Ankle pain, but if the initial c/c was syncope can I ask why the 12 lead wasn't performed sooner?

That being said, aside from a full set of V/S the patient hardly seems symptomatic, so probably the standard ALS treatments, unless of course the patient became symptomatic...

Sorry, I wasn't clear on my post. The scene was only 1 mile away from the hospital. 12-lead was preformed immediately after I found out it was a syncopal.

Patients with a history of VT on antiarrhythmics, especially Sotalol and Tikosyn, commonly present in a slow VT in the 100-120s. It always happens to be just below their AICD VT/VF range. Most tolerate it for a while but they can crash pretty quick.

Good info, thanks!

We too are getting our first snow. It just happens to be a blizzard.

I'm not sure we could call it a blizzard last night it was blowing over 40 and iced the roads.

Tbe only requirements are having ccpc or fpc at time of application. Im not sure what all benefits or special skills it has, as i think is service dependent

It is somewhat service dependent, but among other things it removes RSI as a waivered procedure.

I like our extrication coats for warmth...but, boy, are they ugly!

Pants+the nice Blauer jacket they give us=calendar ready (maybe not really).

Patient was on an antiarrhythmic (for A-fib). I only remember the name started with an F. The ED pharmacist said it is a very old school one that usually only older doctors prescribe.

I don't know if anything EMS is ever calendar ready...

I think it might be the lack of hoses?

Tambocor (Flecainide)?

That sounds about right.

Reminds me of this meta analysis from 2005 (there's a free PDF - yay!), they found that:

Of 62 published studies that measured physician knowledge or quality of care and described time since medical school graduation or age, more than half suggested that physician performance declined over time for all outcomes measured. Only 1 study showed improved performance for all outcomes measured.

Hooray...

Yeah if Daniel Defense could hurry up and make their lower parts kit, that'd be great.
