01.05 The Sick SOB Patient, EKG Mastery Series

Note: This case is completely fictional and is not based on any real patient!!

The following case is about a fictional patient that developed a PE and eventually had a cardiac arrest in the hospital. The question posed to the audience is this: if the field personnel had PE on their differential, would the patient have survived? This case goes into utilizing the EKG as a means to identify PE's in the field. Let me know what you think!
