Those of you with an interest in medications in cardiac arrest may be interested to know that there is currently a placebo controlled trial of adrenaline in...
I am afraid that I do not. Pt was felt to be mainly non-cardiac and so while she was on a monitor the staff did not have any strips. She did have a 12 lead...
I should clarify, she was thought to be mainly non-cardiac based on her initial complaints, not after her arrhythmia. Andrew ... From: "Andrew J Bowman"...
Chances are her magnesium or potassium was out of whack. These patients in my ED typically get ceftriaxone and azithromycin (which can cause prolonged QT...
Pre-arrhythmia she had received an albuterol treatment for her wheezing and had just started her Levaquin infusion. Had the Poly VT, self aborted then we got...
Granted, looks like polymorphic VTach but there's no "twisting of the points". Very interesting what an antibiotic can do at the most inopportune time. Gustavo...
Here's an excellent site from the University of Arizona that has four different lists of drugs that are implicated in QT interval prolongation. The lists are...
Where is the site link? _____ From: ekg_club@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ekg_club@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of wegandy1938@... Sent: Friday, September 08,...
Attached is an EKG tracing of droperidol vs ondansetron with documented QT prolongation with both. If the resolution of the picture is less than ideal, the...
Phil (or Hank, Andrew, the Pauls, etc.): What do you consider to be clinically significant for a QTc? I am teaching that anything over 440 is prolonged with...
Amiodarone is on the list of drugs that can prolong QT, so I don't use it for polymorphic VT unless I have very good evidence that the QT was normal prior to...
Chris: Does that mean you will not give a bolus of Amiodarone after shocking a patient out of pulseless polymorphic VT? Or that you will obtain a 12 lead EKG...
I use a cutoff of 450 ms for prolonged QTc. Clinically significant long QT seems to occur above 500 ms. Some think that TdP is polymorphic VT in the setting...
So, to confirm (or confirm my incorrectness), the only difference between Torsades and polymorphic VT is the underlying rhythm's QT interval? Without a rhythm...
What I want to know is, since amiodarone can prolong the QT interval, and so can magnesium, why are they used to terminate T de P? GG ... What I want to know...
Tom, First of all, my answers are based on some reading and some theory, with only a little experience; I don't claim to be an expert in this realm. That...
Phil, Can you give us some clues as to how to differentiate true TDP from polymorphic VT in the field? How much of a role does pharmacological history play...
Determining the normality of a QT interval is dependent upon rate, as we know. Can anyone extrapolate a method for street paramedics to determine the ...
