Continuous Chest Compressions vs. 30:2. Does It Matter? Depends On the Quality!
Seattle Fire Department Engine 2. The rescuer on the left has just placed a metronome on the ground. I will eventually get around to composing a more thoughtful blog post about my experiences at the Resuscitation Academy but in the interim I wanted to share something about the ventilation strategy in King County, Washington. There […]

The Six-Step Method for 12-Lead ECG Interpretation
There are LOTS of potential methods for interpreting an ECG. The “best one” — is that one you YOU evolve to, because you find it easy-to-remember and apply systematically. Excellent job here in this post by Tom Bouthillet describing his 6- (really 7-) Step Method, which works extremely well! The one comment I would add…

Triaging Triage ECGs
Hey Vince, It would be helpful if you included the findings that lead to diagnosis of STEMI in those "subtle STEMIs" from your collection for us newbies. I'd like to confirm my interpretation against yours to make sure I'm seeing it all. Thanks

Patient presenting to fire station for BP check proves to be suffering acute STEMI
I see a few recommendations for administering O2 to this patient. His SpO2 was 96% on RA so we should be cautious with the oxygen and consider omitting it in this case. Studies have shown that O2 administration at high concentrations can increase the size of the infarct.

Triaging Triage ECGs
Excellent thoughtful post by Vince DiGiulio. The problem regarding the “Triaging of Triage ECGs” is clearly an important one. I will add several points to Vince’s provocative discussion: i) The computerized report should never be looked at until AFTER the screening physician has completed his/her assessment of the ECG to be triaged (Please see below…
