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

A 12-lead EKG shows sinus tachycardia but is otherwise normal. The patient is agitated, not oriented, and becoming combative with ED staff. As you attempt to examine the patient, he has a generalized, tonic-clonic seizure. What is your diagnosis, and what are your next steps in evaluation and management? 1 Fever is usually < 40C.

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. They opined that the ECG could instead be "metabolic." Creatinine elevated at 3.09

However, there are no clear guidelines for management in post-cardiac arrest patients without ST-segment elevations on ECG. Clinical Question : In patients who suffer an OHCA without ST-segment elevation on the post-resuscitation ECG, will early coronary angiogram (CAG) vs. delayed CAG improve outcomes?
