Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) mostly occurs in crowded public places outside hospitals, such as public sports facilities, airports, railway stations, subway stations, and shopping malls. ECMO support therapy for patients with cardiac arrest can be considered when economic conditions permit.

An emergency cardiac ultrasound could be very useful. Appreciation of these subtle ECG findings could have helped to avoid a cardiac arrest and its resulting permanent disability 3. The upright portion of the T-wave in aVF is very large compared to the QRS size. If these remain unchanged, then serial troponins.

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) remains the gold-standard treatment for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We present the case of a man in his 50s, admitted with cardiac arrest secondary to inferolateral STEMI.

In this case, profound shock for 1 hour would result in the same degree of infarction. I suspect this is Type 2 MI due to prolonged severe hypotension from cardiac arrest. A followup ECG was recorded 2 days later: No definite evidence of infarction. This is a troponin I level that is almost exclusively seen in STEMI.

This case was provided by Spencer Schwartz, an outstanding paramedic at Hennepin EMS who is on Hennepin EMS's specialized "P3" team, a team that receives extra training in advanced procedures such as RSI, thoracostomy, vasopressors, and prehospital ultrasound. She was defibrillated and resuscitated. It can only be seen by IVUS.

New insights into the use of the 12-lead electrocardiogram for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction in the emergency department. Here is the abstract: Background Identification of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is critical because early reperfusion can save myocardium and increase survival.

Both of these patterns together suggest Aslanger's pattern , recently published in J Electrocardiology: A new electrocardiographic pattern indicating inferior myocardial infarction. Case Continued Bedside ultrasound was performed: This shows an anterior wall motion abnormality, and highly suggests the LAD as the infarct artery.
