Altered Mental Status, Bradycardia == MY Comment , by K EN G RAUER, MD ( 2/2 /2024 ): == Dr. Meyers began today’s case with the clinical challenge of asking you to identify the underlying cause of ECG #2. -- Read this ECG -- Osborn Waves and Hypothermia (this is the "Figure" above) What does LBBB look like in severe hypothermia?

Resuscitation was initiated and this ECG was obtained: Likely AFib (irregularly irregular) with bradycardia. Consider thrombolytics for OMI when PCI is not an option. == MY Comment by K EN G RAUER, MD ( 1/19/2020 ): == There is a LOT to talk about regarding the series of tracings in this unfortunate case.

There are 3 etiologies I always think of with bradycardia and AV block: 1. See this terrible case: Computer often fails to diagnose atrial fibrillation in ventricular paced rhythm, and that can be catastrophic == MY Comment , by K EN G RAUER, MD ( 1/22/2020 ): == Our THANKS to Dr. Smith for presenting this extremely interesting case.

Her vital signs were within normal limits except for bradycardia at 55 bpm. It is probably sinus bradycardia with very small/depressed P-waves and prolonged PR interval. P EARL # 4 In my opinion, it is not worth wasting time trying to figure out the specific rhythm diagnosis of a bradycardia when there is hyperkalemia.
