“We need a lot more naloxone than ever before. Some people need 20 milligrams” I hear this or versions of it in many of the opioid task force meetings I attend around the state. No, I say. The research I have based on over 20,000 EMS run forms shows naloxone has remained effective over the years. Which is not to say some people arent getting 20 milligrams.

Take a moment to appreciate the irony. We spend so much time learning a new language during medical training that it grants us access to an exclusive club. That language gets fine-tuned through more training and further specialization. At the same time, as we sit through standardized patient or observed structured clinical examinations, we are often evaluated and critiqued based on the clarity of the language we use to communicate with our patients.

He discusses how using multiple OMI findings such as acute Q wave, subtle STE, reciprocal STD, hyperacute T waves, and reciprocal TWI to contribute to your overall impression, can double the sensitivity of STEMI criteria for acute coronary occlusion.

This was written by Hans Helseth. Paramedics arrived at the house of a 59 year old man after his caretaker called 911 for altered mental status. He was lethargic and slow to respond to questions. He was found to be hypotensive with systolic pressures in the 70s and 80s. An EKG was recorded: What do you think? This EKG shows the same 2.5 seconds as recorded by all 12 leads, so it is not ideal for rhythm analysis.
