It is worth noting, that with “Sepsis 3” many of these terms will become out-of-date – but validation work is required… The Rivers’ paper can be accessed here: [link] It was a single centre study which compared standard care with protocolised resuscitation packaged together as early goal-directed therapy (EGDT).

Fluid resuscitation was initiated. Here is the initial ED ECG: What do you think? The ECG shows peaked T waves, QRS widening, a coved-type ST segment with inverted T waves most prominent in V1 and V2 consistent with Brugada pattern.

However, the persistence of tachycardia despite fluid resuscitation and dosing with lorazepam to help with his panic disorder raised concerns that warranted further investigation. Our workup started with an ultrasound and EKG. EKGs will have abnormalities in about 90 percent, but they are typically nonspecific findings.

Caring for critically ill patients with limited information requires snap assessments and judgements for timely resuscitation and efficient emergency department throughput. In this study, clinical gestalt is not only fast, but accurate for the benefit of timely resuscitation and intervention. Sound familiar?

An immediate 12-lead EKG was obtained: There is ST elevation in leads aVR and V1, with marked ST depression in I, II, III, aVF, V3-V6. In addition, the patient received 750 mL of fluid resuscitation with transient improvement of blood pressure. What should be done? Should the cath lab be activated?

Thankfully, that gentleman was successfully resuscitated despite no bystander CPR, and if you listen carefully, we hope to arm you with the tools to do so similarly.
