V-Tach it is not. Irritable foci for sure. Bundle Branch playing tricks again. Afib I would defineatly consider. The bottom line as always, treat the patient, not the rhythm, right? Dig toxic and the rate would be slow no?

Awesome, I thought I was being anal doing this, but tangled wires drive me nuts! I use electrical tape. It is essentially the same material, cleans easily and comes off easy when it needs changing. I also have a tendency to do the same thing with the V leads, 1/2, 3/4, 5/6. It does save time and cleans things up very nice.

This study was conducted by three individuals who are directors in Dallas, LA and W. Palm Beach. Huge areas. They take into account the large cites. These are places with over 250,000 people or up to 5 times that much. They do not account for the smaller cities or towns or even the smaller counties that have many volunteer agencies within them. I would think this to be a majority of the population. Volunteers for their FD and for their BLS. By this account, this whole study is hogwash. In the grand scheme of things, in the larger cities this may be accurate, but not for everywhere America. Philip Shepherd NREMT-P
