The patient was in shock on arrival in the ED — and multiple blood transfusions were needed. Consider that the patient in this case was promptly resuscitated in the ED. The mechanism for these ECG changes of hyperkalemia is interesting ( Webster et al: Emerg Med J 19:74-77, 2002 ). WHAT is the rhythm in this tracing?

Evaporative cooling is the preferred method to actively reduce body temperature in the emergency department , as it can be performed with ongoing resuscitation efforts. Ice water immersion and iced peritoneal lavage are additional methods used to lower temperature but are more invasive or can prevent additional resuscitative efforts.
