Y'know, until this teaser was posed, I never knew/thought to ensure that the markers actually did match up... -- Jon Kavanagh NREMT-P "I would rather live my...
Nick, Doesn't this tie into the reason we deliver an unsynchronized shock to pulseless VT? What's to stop us from delivering the energy at the optimal moment...
Hi Tom Question 1: Not really. In that case it is a matter of time. In this case its physics... Question 2: The answer to this question is the answer to mine. ...
Matter of time? Pushing the synch button takes too much time? To guarantee that the shock is delivered at the optimal moment in the cardiac cycle? No, I think...
Aren't answers 1 and 2 really the same thing? If it isn't synching at the proper point, it will, in effect, deliver an unsynchronized cardioversion, no? -- ...
Actually Jon it is different. One delivers a shock at a specific moment (that the monitor determines) and one is random to your timing of pushing the button. ...
... Ok, let me rephrase my point. To use Nick's answer as above, one may be delivered at the wrong time (machine misread/malfunction), or, one may be...
Ding ding ding ding..... You have figured out the teaser! If you let the machine sync to the VVVVVV, you have a 50% chance that it is syncing to the T wave,...
Well, I recognize that "local" libraries may be less than adequate. I should have mentioned going to a university library or a medical school or large ...
Good points Gene... Having blocked out the painful memories from my college days of studying in the library, I avoided that concept altogether :) The two...

Ditto. If you send me a hard copy, I will scan it and optimize with photoshop and post it. That way it will be small enough to post for all and small enough...

Andrew, That was a very strange distribution of ST elevation! Perhaps not classic for acute neurological event, but not classic for AMI either. Tom B....
