Guest guest Posted January 13, 2000 Report Share Posted January 13, 2000 Presumptive diagnosis was acute anterior wall myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock. Associated symptoms included tachypnea and diaphoresis. Respiratory rate was 24 respirations per minute on 100% oxygen saturation nonrebreather mask. The patient was s/l sody? (could it be steady?) at 94%. The patient then developed multiple episodes of ventricular fibrillation, all defibrillated successfully and continued to be given lidocaine and then placed on a lidocaine and subsequently s/l bretylium? (maybe bertilium? or vertilium?) drip. Any ideas? Bev W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
