Diagnosing MI in presence of LBBB

Increased suspicion if: • ST elevation > 1 mm concordant with QRS • ST depression > 1 mm in V1, V2, V3 • ST elevation > 5 mm discordant with QRS When in doubt, treat as acute ischemia if clinically consistent picture

Distinguishing VT from SVT

Features favoring VT: • AV dissociation (more QRS than P waves) • Older age • History of heart disease/MI

When in doubt, treat for VT!

3. Contact MSO-1 Immediately 4. Collect source patient name, address,

phone number, destination hospital and next of kin

5. PEP if appropriate after MD contact

Airborne Exposure For meningitis and TB, collect as much pt information as possible and contact MSO 1 or MSO 10 ASAP.
