What do you do if your patient has a heart rate of 50. Better yet what will you if your patient drops his heart rate to 30. In this EM Ed lecture we discuss the approach to the bradycardic patient.
What do you do if you have a patient with a heart of 120? What if the heart rate is 150, or better yet 170. In this EM Ed lecture we discuss the approach to a patient with narrow complex tachycardia.
In this lecture we discuss the initial approach to a patient with acute decompensated heart failure. We first construct a critical differential diagnosis to ensure that we are not missing any other life threatening process. Then we assess the patients respiratory status. Based on what degree of respiratory distress the patient is in, we can begin the appropriate resuscitative steps
In this lecture we discuss a practical approach to EKG interpretation. The focus is on the indications for ordering an EKG and how can that guide our approach to EKG interpretation.
