Initially, data suggested that the use of ultrasound during arrest increased pauses between compressions which worsens outcomes. The ideal view depends on the patient’s comorbid conditions such as COPD, obesity, cachexia, etc. Ultrasound during cardiac arrest has quickly become standard.
Applying the Above to Today's Case: In addition to being Covid-positive — the patient in today's case had longstanding COPD. These cases provide insight to assessment for MAT: The January 5, 2020 post in Dr. Smith’s ECG Blog — for an example of MAT. He was wheezing, and required supplemental oxygen. Smith’s ECG Blog.
Outcome: 100% LAD Occlusion Here the Queen explains why: The dark blue tells us that she is looking especially at the QRS in V3 and the T-wave in V2 and V3. The differential diagnosis for "low voltage" that is frequently put forth by many providers is often limited to COPD and/or pericardial effusion.
A 45-year-old male with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, amphetamine and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) use, and coronary vasospasm presented to triage with chest pain. During initial assessment, an ECG was obtained and revealed ST-segment elevation (STE) in the inferior leads with ST depression anteriorly.
It can be further divided into two types: primary--those that occur in generally healthy individuals without underlying lung disease, and secondary--those that occur in individuals with underlying lung disease such as COPD [1].

A 49 year old woman with h/o COPD only presented with sudden dyspnea. In comparison to the previous study, 11/11/2020, there has been a significant interval deterioration of left ventricular systolic function (previous EF 80%), and there is a new large apical wall motion abnormality. She had acute pulmonary edema on exam.
Louis); Marina Boushra, MD (EM-CCM, Cleveland Clinic Foundation); Brit Long, MD (@long_brit) Case Emergency Medical Services brings in a 62-year-old male with COPD in acute on chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure (usually on 3 L nasal cannula, now on non-rebreather at 15 L/min). 2020 Apr 15;12:87-92.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic disease of the lungs caused by inflammatory and structural changes of the small airways and parenchyma of the lungs that result in chronic airflow obstruction and gas trapping. In 2019, the global prevalence of COPD was estimated to be 10.3 Click to enlarge.
Systemic corticosteroids (such as intravenous dexamethasone) improve outcomes in severe pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. It makes sense that inhaled steroids might improve outcomes from less severe infections. Predominant SARS-CoV-2 strains during that trial’s enrollment (July-December 2020) were Wuhan, Alpha and Delta.
Written by Magnus Nossen, edits by Smith The patient in today's case is an 85-year-old male with a history of COPD and dementia. Although mid-precordial S waves are quite deep voltage criteria for LVH are not quite met ( See My Comment in the June 20, 2020 post). He presented to the emergency department for evaluation.
There is strong evidence that systemic steroids improve outcomes in patients with severe COVID-19 ( First10EM: Steroids for COVID ). Their primary outcome was a ‘COVID-19 related’ urgent care visit, emergency department assessment, or hospitalization, and was significantly reduced in the budesonide arm (15% vs 3%, p=0.009).
