If you're looking for a pithy take home about why proportionality is important? "If you can fit the QRS complex inside the T? No bueno." So you have a "normal" size T but it towers over the R voltage? Think occlusion. #EMConf #FOAMed @NSLIJ_EM

A key point I forgot at #EMConf today: What ties together all the bad/early/subtle EKGs? "Area under the curve." T waves taller, wider, fatter, with lead in ST morphology flatter/convex, take-off pt. below isoelectric ALL inc. area below that T. #FOAMed

#EMConf with @ercowboy talking Cath Activations: "Forget STEMI/NSTEMI- NSTEMI is an occlusion that we missed on EKG. The lit claims a large # of non-diagnostic EKGs, but really there are a lot of non-diagnostic physicians." #FOAMed

Beginning #EMConf @NSLIJ_EM! Not "STEMI" or "STEMI equivalent." Let's just move on to "Cath that?" #FOAMed

So in that scenario, not very early. Yes, after 2 shocks.

Epi does not improve survival with good neuro outcomes 2. Too much epi increases O2 demand & decreases cerebral perfusion pressure 3. Epi ≤20min from cardiac arrest maybe beneficial 4. Epi >20min from cardiac arrest maybe harmful 5. PARAMEDIC-2 Trial is Coming

Epinephrine Harmful or Helpful? @jducanto @TBayEDguy @kovacsgj @Obidoc @ErikaPanaro @emcrit @srrezaie @drjdt2644 @antogulli @carenzmd @LTortorolo @DrMCecconi @RBarrix @christifulli88 @CMGrffn @ketaminh #INTUBATIem #Resuscitation

I am now the best ophthalmologist on medtwitter. Yes, it's that shallow a pool. Be well and return soon. twitter.com/DGlaucomflecke…

@CORD_EM @vidyaeswaran Being an adult means not having to ask anyone's permission.

Can you still consider yourself an adult if you purposely walk into sprinklers on hot days? ...asking for a friend?
