Nitro paste is NOT an emergency medicine drug – The Evidence
Many paramedics argue strongly for including nitroglycerin paste as an arrow in their pharmacologic quiver when treating acute congestive heart failure. Baffles me. True, you don’t need to break the seal of the CPAP to give it, and you don’t need to use an IV. But this medication hardly belongs in the emergency department, let […]

Understanding ECG Filtering
Great review. Am I correct that since the common frequency for the P wave = 0.67-5 Hz — that IF the HIGH-pass filter is set at 0.5 instead of 0.05 — that because of the possibility of “phase shift” — that inscription of P waves may be suboptimal (and that this may therefore make assessment…

RBBB - I.V., serial 12-leads, oxygen-etco2, position semi-fowlers, bilateral BP, patch EP for consultation if transport is 30 minutes.

No sinus rythm,but rather atrial flutter with Mobitz type 1 - Wenkebach phenomen

It is regularly irregular rythm.It seems like Mobitz type 1 - Wenkebach ,secondary to sinus tachycardia.It is visible P wave in V1 lead.We should find primary cause of sinus tachycardia?
