During this resuscitation two different ultrasound machines were used to capture images due to a malfunction with the first machine after initial images were captured. During a short period of ROSC an ECG was performed. The findings of RV strain on the ECG also supported the POCUS echo findings in this case. EKG RV strain.

The only statistically significant factor intra-arrest was the first ECG rhythm, which only had an odds ratio of 1.12, which is relatively low. However, we might expect on-scene advanced trauma resuscitation to prolong prehospital time sizably. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation traumatic cardiac arrest—there are survivors.

From the 80’s to 2008, the worldwide prevalence of obesity nearly doubled! Jeff: Resuscitation should be aimed at early fluid replacement with IV crystalloids for hypovolemic patients and packed RBC transfusions for patients presumed to be unstable from hemorrhage. Additionally, back in 2010, it was estimated that 6.6% million adults!!

Written by Jesse McLaren, with comments by Smith and Grauer Four patients presented with cardiorespiratory symptoms, with inferior ST elevation and reciprocal change on their ECG. Note: according to the STEMI paradigm these ECGs are easy, but in reality they are difficult. First lets start with each ECG without clinical context.
