13 That is to say nothing of the effect that the type and response to shock has on the individual patients involved in these studies. As seen in the Andromeda Shock Trial, and multiple other trials involving shocked patients, capillary return also reigns supreme regarding physical examination. Mar 2004; PMID: 15090949.

You decide she is stable to be discharged home on levofloxacin (See REBEL EM for antibiotic coverage in CAP ) but consider giving her a first dose intravenously.

The paramedic notes called STEMI into question: “EMS disagree with monitor for STEMI callout. With both EMS and ED computer interpretations reading ‘STEMI’, the emergency physician activated the cath lab. Comparing J-point between leads noted no significant ST elevation or depression, with QRS prolongation from RBBB.”
