Under ICU surveillance, LVFWR occurred 24 h later and was treated by pericardiocentesis and ECMO support followed by immediate uncomplicated surgical repair. Postoperative therapy-refractory vasoplegia and electromechanical dissociation caused fulminant deterioration and the early death of the patient.
A prior ECG was available for comparison: Normal One might be tempted to interpret the ST depression as ischemia, but as Smith says, "when the QT is impossibly long, think of hypokalemia and a U-wave rather than T-wave." The patient was admitted to the ICU for close monitoring and electrolyte repletion and had an uneventful hospital course.
She was admitted to the ICU where subsequent ECGs were performed: ECG at 12 hours QTc prolongation, resolution of T wave alternans ECG at 24 hours Sinus tachycardia with normalized QTc interval. She had an uneventful ICU course and was extubated for ongoing care with the inpatient psychiatric service.
Introduction:Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Secondary outcomes were ICU measures and functional outcomes.Results:52 patients were enrolled. Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A114-A114, February 1, 2024.
This was interpreted by the treating clinicians as not showing any evidence of ischemia. Given the presentation, the cardiologist stented the vessel and the patient returned to the ICU for ongoing critical care. He was intubated in the field and sedated upon arrival at the hospital. Two subsequent troponins were down trending.
IntroductionDelirium is an acute cognitive or perceptual disturbance that is associated with prolonged hospital and ICU length of stay, therefore, extending recovery time. This is secondary to delayed postoperative cerebral ischemia and infarction caused by vasospasm.7
I do not think this ECG is by itself diagnostic of OMI (full thickness, subepicardial ischemia ), b ut comparison to a previous might reveal this ECG as diagnostic of OMI. The facility was not pressed to activate emergent transfer for PCI since the pain was improving and suggested we optimize pain control and admit to the Cardiac ICU.
CASE CONTINUED She was admitted to the ICU. It should be kept in mind that on occasions, beta-one agonist can result in increased ventricular ectopy e.g., in severe myocardial ischemia (by increasing myocardial demand), or sometimes with congenital long-QT syndrome. LBBB, ventricular pacing, etc.)."
This is critical for the EMS provider, or ED clinician, as identification of Grade I ischemia (aka, HATW’s) addresses the culprit lesion at the earliest opportunity with excellent downstream prognosis for the patient. [2] Thankfully, the patient experienced an uncomplicated ICU stay and subsequently made a full recovery.
She requires maximal medical management per all current guidelines (including heparin and P2Y12 inhibitor per cardiology), as well as consideration for emergent cath in the case of persistent ischemia. So what will you do for this patient? They found an acute, total, thrombotic occlusion of the proximal LAD. They opened it. Patel et al.,
Normally, concavity in ST segments suggests absence of anterior ischemia (though concavity by itself is not reassuring - see this study ). Fortunately, he was extubated several days later in the ICU with intact baseline mental status and was discharged shortly thereafter to subacute rehab. How likely is it that this patient has LVH? (ie
The only time you see this without ischemia is when there is an abnormal QRS, such as LVH, LBBB, LV aneurysm (old MI with persistent STE) or WPW." The patient was managed in the ICU and had serial troponins. Here is the patient's troponin I profile: These were interpreted as due to demand ischemia, or type II MI. First was 2.9
The patient continued to have ischemia after PCI, and in fact had an episode of polymorphic VT shortly after while in the ICU. This was recorded 2.5 hours later, after PCI: There is a significant QS-wave in V2, with some persistent ST elevation, suggesting incomplete small vessel reperfusion and significant infarction.
His temperature was brought back to normal over time in the ICU. Osborn waves have been reported with hypercalcemia, brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, Brugada syndrome, cardiac arrest from VFib — and — severe, acute ischemia resulting in acute MI ( See My Comment in the November 22, 2019 post on Dr. Smith’s Blog ).
Are you confident there is no ischemia? Primary VT , and the VT with tachycardia is causing ischemia with chest discomfort (supply-demand mismatch/type 2 MI)? Ischemia from ACS causing the chest discomfort, with VT another consequence (or coincidence)? Do you agree with this strategy? How can you better assess the ST segments?
He was admitted to the ICU and transferred emergently to a facility where he could undergo emergent dialysis as a part of further evaluation and management. These include ( among others ) — acute febrile illness — variations in autonomic tone — hypothermia — ischemia/infarction/cardiac arrest — and Hyperkalemia.
