Objectives
CC / HPI:
70 year old male with HTN, smoking, DM, PAD but no
R
known CAD, develops CP at home, arrests in the field,
receives bystander CPR and defibrillation for VF. EMS
arrives. M
Initial 12 lead ECG in field comes back with anterior ST
elevations and through mission lifeline is transmitted to
ER, read and the cath lab is activated.
Patient is transported to ER in somnolent state intubated
with return of spontaneous circulation. Interventional
team meets him in the ER.
Case study: ECG in the Field
Physical Examination:
Vitals: T: Afeb P: 109, irregular BP: 85/48 RR: 14 (vent) 79 kg R
Gen: elderly white male, intubated, somnolent
M
HEENT: PERRL, NCAT, MMM
Neck: 1+ carotid upstrokes, bilateral carotid bruits, JVD12 cm
Resp: coarse BS
CV: RRR, NL S1/S2, no S3 or S4 gallops
Abd: Bowel sounds absent, no organomegaly
Ext: No edema, warm, but with relative bilateral atrophy
Pulses: 1+ left femoral, No right femoral pulse 1+ PT, absent DP
bilaterally
Case study: Management
Initial Management:
R
The patient is immediately given ASA 325
mg via NGT and heparinized (60 u/kg
bolus) M
All labs are pending
Cardiac cath lab has already been
activated for STEMI
Cardiac catheterization
M

Case study: Clinical management
Course:
Cloud of thrombus in the LAD, CTO RCA with R
collaterals. LAD undergoes thrombecty and
stented with excellent angiographic results.
M
Intravascular cooling is initiated with the Zoll
Thermogard catheter.
Given dopamine requirement and hypotension,
abdominal aorta is imaged to put in an IABP and
found to be totally occluded with SMA collaterals
to the CFAs bilaterally.
To treat or not to treat: When is the
Question!!! Learning from ERASE and
other recent studies
