Art of Occlusion MI Part 4: Sequence Photos | ECG Cases | Emergency Medicine Cases
In this month's ECG Cases Dr. McLaren explores how sequence photos help identify Occlusion MI. He illustrates through cases how hyperacute T waves and subtle ST elevation with reciprocal ST depression can provide an early snapshot of occlusion MI – and might remain the only sign of occlusion. How resolution of ischemic symptoms along with regional T wave inversion (or reciprocally tall anterior T waves) can indicate spontaneous reperfusion, while subacute and persisting symptoms with Q waves and T wave inversion indicate refractory occlusion. And how spontaneous reperfusion is at risk for reocclusion, with recurrence of ischemic symptoms accompanied by ST/T pseudonormalization and then hyperacute T waves and ST elevation.
Massive Hemorrhage Protocols 2.0 | Emergency Medicine Cases
In this update to the 7 T’s of Massive Hemorrhage Protocols with Dr. Jeannie Callum and Dr. Andrew Petrosoniak, we explore the most current, evidence-informed strategies for bleeding patients, from polytrauma to obstetrical, drawing on the latest clinical trial data and real-world experience. We answer the questions: What is the evidence based alternative to FFP in EDs where FFP is not readily available? How accurate are decision scores in helping decide the trigger for MHP activation? Why is testing fibrinogen levels and giving fibrinogen concentrates so important in massive hemorrhage? How should we tailor our MHP to the GI bleed patient? To the obstetrical patient? and many more... Please donate to EM Cases to ensure ongoing Free Open Access Medical Education at https://emergencymedicinecases.com/donation/.
