Taming the SRU

JUNE 3, 2024

If you or your patient do not have a watch capable of providing you with an ECG, consider asking those on board to allow you to borrow theirs. Use checklists for complex procedures, such as airway management. Get a blood gas when possible to help guide your ventilation.

ECG: to monitor T wave changes due to hypokalaemia. ECG features of Hypokalaemia: Increased P wave amplitude (peaked P waves) Prolonged PR interval Widespread ST depression T wave flattening or inversion Prominent U waves (most noticeable in the precordial leads) Figure 2 : ECG of a patient with serum K+ of 1.9

ECG – May show tachycardia or rate related ST depressions Laboratory evaluation: CBC w/ differential – may reveal leukocytosis with left shift CMP, Lipase – can reveal alternative intra-abdominal diagnoses as well as show findings of end-organ hypoperfusion (elevated serum creatinine, transaminitis, etc.)

Consider valvular injury in any patient who appears to be in cardiogenic shock, has hypotension without obvious hemorrhage, or has pulmonary edema. Moreover, when airway management is needed, advanced airway techniques by ALS crews were associated with decreased odds of survival. of those patients.

Nachi: Each year, in the US, approximately 10,000 patients present with electrical burns or shocks. Pay attention to the entry and exit sites, as the pathway of the shock is predictive of the potential for myocardial injury and arrhythmia. Those with low voltage injuries and a normal EKG do not require monitoring.
