Featured Case Study by Guru member Vince DiGiulio, EMT-CC.

Submitted by jer5150 on Sat, 12/22/2012 - 11:25

This week, in addition to my own blog, I'm going to feature a guest case study by Guru member Vince DiGiulio, EMT-CC.  This past Monday, Vince messaged me (along with Dr. Ken Grauer) on Facebook and requested my input and opinion on these serial ECGs.  With Vince's blessing, he gave me permission to use any of his original 12-lead ECGs here on the Guru.  Of his 6 ECGs, I've decided to post 4 of them here.

Jason's Blog: ECG Challenge of the Week for Dec. 16th - 23rd.

Submitted by jer5150 on Sat, 12/15/2012 - 11:54

Found this "gem" buried deep-down in the back of the vault and have wanted to share it for many months.  Due to the impressive QRS voltage and overlapping waveforms, I initially debated on whether or not I should post this at 1/2-standard but in the end I decided to retain its original size.  This ECG is from 27 years ago so I have very limited information, but this is what I do know.

Book Review: ACLS 2013, The ACLS/Arrhythmia Pocket Brain Book, by Dr. Ken Grauer, M.D.

Occasionally on the ECG Guru webpage, we like to do a review of books or other materials that we think would be of service to ECG instructors.  Dr. Ken Grauer's ACLS 2013 Pocket Brain is one of those books.  Followers of the ECG Guru webpage and FaceBook page have gotten to know Dr. Grauer as an exceptional resource for information on recognition AND treatment of arrhythmias.  He serves as a valued Expert on our Ask the Expert page.

This is a "Routine" resting 12-lead ECG I performed on a patient several months ago in the Outpatient ECG Lab.

PATIENT CLINICAL DATA:
72-year-old white man; asymptomatic; resting comfortably in recumbent position.

This is an exercise in "anomalous" beats.

QUESTION:
(1.)  Specifically, what are 3rd, 4th, and 10th beats?

This is one of five consecutive serial ECGs that I performed several years ago on a patient in our Outpatient ECG Lab.  The patient was asymptomatic and the ECG was ordered as "Routine" by the patient's Primary Care Provider (PCP).  I deliberately "froze" the tracing on the screen and captured this image because I wanted to show a transition on the ECG.

No clinical patient data available.

What does this tracing show?  Choose the correct answer from the list below.
