His primary interests are resuscitation, prehospital critical care, airway management, and point-of-care ultrasound. Bystander CPR is initiated prior to EMS arrival. However, no randomized trial has compared intravenous access to intraosseous access with a primary outcome of good neurologic function.

The paramedics achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after CPR, advanced cardiac life support (ALCS), and Intubation. Her point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) shows appropriate-appearing global ejection fraction and no marked wall motion abnormalities. The AHA has a statement with recommendations based on the available data.

A bedside ultrasound was done by the emergency physician, using Speckle Tracking. It is highly associated with proximal LAD occlusion or severe left main ACS and with bad outcomes. Unfortunately, that video is unavailable. It appeared to show a lateral wall motion abnormality. So this is diagnostic of proximal LAD occlusion.

Data that do not establish neurological risk stratification in the first 6 hours after CA include the patient’s age, duration of CPR, seizure activity, serum lactate level or pH, Glasgow motor subscore in patients who received NMB or sedation, pupillary function in patients who received atropine, and optic nerve sheath diameter (95.3%, 20/21).

While Point of Care Ultrasound has made limited entry in prehospital care, largely with physician-led services and some Advanced Paramedics; it has largely been as a proof of concept rather than everyday care. These indices would have reinforced the clinical decision progress and avoided bad outcomes from unsuccessful estimates.

Nachi: And if the prehospital team is lucky enough, or maybe unlucky enough, i don’t know, to have a credentialed provider who can perform ultrasound for those suspected of having a blunt cardiac injury, the general prehospital data on ultrasound is sparse. Early defibrillation is linked to better outcomes. of those patients.

Bedside ultrasound showed no effusion and moderately decreased LV function, with B-lines of pulmonary edema. The patient stabilized and had a good outcome. Angio had shown some acute disease in the saphenous vein graft to the posterior descending artery off of the RCA. He was managed medically with Clopidogrel.
