For example, by integrating Ventripoint’s AI-powered heart-scanning technology, which turns ultrasound images of the heart into MRI-quality heart images, InView provides pediatric cardiologists with access to MRI-quality heart images at a fraction of the cost and time needed for traditional MRIs.

We recorded an ECG in which V1-V3 were put in the position of V4R-V6R, and V4-6 were placed in V7-9 to (academically) confirm posterior OMI. I say academically because the STD in V2 is diagnostic -- posterior leads are NOT necessary. Case continued A bedside ultrasound showed diminished LV EF and of course bradycardia.

Pads were placed with ultrasound guidance, so they were in the correct position. Definitive diagnosis that ECG #1 is in fact VT is more than academic. No adenosine was given (if you believe it is SVT, this is worth a try). However, this is not SVT. If it is VT, adenosine is safe but not effective. Shocked x 2 without effect.

Distinction of PMVT vs VFib is an academic one in this case ). Another approach is sympathetic chain (stellate ganglion) blockade if you have the skills to do it: it requires some expertise and ultrasound guidance. The arrhythmia starts with a PVC having a short coupling interval. Both PMVT and VFib occurred multiple times.

A lower extremity arterial ultrasound revealed elevated velocities in the right proximal superficial femoral artery. A second opinion from another physician at another facility resulted in a normal ultrasound. Academics, especially, are hostile to all work being done outsie their purview. 12.27.2016.

On arrival in the ED, a bedside ultrasound showed poor LV function (as predicted by the Queen of Hearts) with diffuse B-lines. I don't know what the device algorithm interpretation stated. I am not certain if there was a prehospital cath lab activation, but there should be. Initial BP was 120/96, HR 102, SpO2 98%.
