Unknown. Due to the patient being 17 years old the Doc had to send the patient to a different hospital about 10-15 minutes away that specializes in peds.
I'd say there's certainly some reciprocal depression in aVL, which matters more than lead I anyway for reciprocal changes in an inferior wall STEMI. Not saying some kind of peri/myocarditis isn't possible, but my spidey sense would be tingling.
I definitely see depression in avL...
Im honestly not sure what brand of EKG machine it was. Im doing my clinical time at the hospital right now (last shift is tomorrow) so it was one of there machines.
Aren't you at ARMC?
Yep. I don't know if it's a hospital thing or a nurse/attending/resident thing but every single patient in my pod for the last 2 days has been getting 12-leads.
We are on the LP12s. I wish we would upgrade to the 15s already.
I don't think I've seen a 5 (I'll have to check which ones the EMT program has). I've seen an 8 and actually had to use a LP10 out in New York (talk about freaky having to hold the paddles on a patients chest to get a look, we didn't have any cable leads).
I've seen (and used) an LP5, and I've seen and used an LP10. The LP5 was a backup to our LP10 (and later a Zoll M-Series), though for monitoring only we used a ProPaq Encore. That was back in the day when I was BLS and worked on an CCT rig. When I became a Paramedic, I used both an LP10 and LP12. The M-series and the ProPaq were the only monitors that we had back equipped with an autocuff. The vast majority of BP's that I got on the street were manual. Yes, I got good at it...
