"Have seen paramedics with 3 years of experience do amazing work. Have seen medics with 25 years of experience melt down on simple calls.
Sometimes 25 years experience is really just a first year repeated 25 times over.
The difference is the person who didn’t stop learning."
This #ECG was recorded in a young woman who presented to the ER with nausea, vomiting, and “heartburn”
She was suffering from a condition that continues to be under diagnosed in women
What’s the diagnosis?
Fascinating study to demonstrate the benefits of #CPR prior to defibrillation. Coarse VF at 1 min, becomes more fine at 10 min. 3 min of CPR brings it back to more coarse VF prior to the 1st shock at the 13th min, with 50% of animals surviving.
CPR matters.
