The ABCDE approach to VT v SVT
Came up with this last year when preparing an ECG talk for ICEM
Still my favourite piece of work giving a simplified, practical approach to a complex topic

This is by far the best website for anything ECG. Whenever I read something that is new to me I just look it up on their website and read their straight-to-the-point articles. Check it our for anybody interested (they even have 150 ECG questions!)

@HansvanSchuppen @cliffreid Actually, in most small rural hospitals in Australia there is only one (or zero) anaesthetists on at any point in time.
English
@cliffreid First, your question was on teamleadership. My opinion is B. Who can step in to perform interventions depends on local setting.
Second, the vast majority of settings will allow for a spare anesthesiologist to come in and help.
Finally, I notice some emotions in the responses
English
If there is a cardiac arrest in the operating theatre, who should team lead?
A. Surgeon/proceduralist
B. Anaesthetist
C. Operating theatre nurse
D. EM or ICM physician
E. Don't care but blame Anaesthesia

1) Any patient who is a representation or failed discharge from the emergency department
2) When I am asked to “quickly send someone home" from the waiting room or triage
3) When an experienced clinician asks for advice on a patient

Knowing how to switch between system 1 and 2 thinking is one of the most important skills of an Emergency Clinician.
When do you choose to employ a System 2 approach?
Here are three situations for me. Comment with your own so we can improve our approach 👇🧵

@rob_buttner Great the ABCDE pattern , I suggest to Add letter F .. for very fast rate is going with SVT with abberency
thanks

By popular demand, the ABCDE approach is now an established part of the @LITFLblog ECG Library.
I've also added an optional F -- check out the post to learn more.

The ABCDE of VT by @rob_buttner
The most memorable education on distinguishing VT from SVT with aberrancy that we’ve come across. Wonderful work Rob!

Differentiating regular narrow and wide complex tachycardias can be a challenge. Can't see any P waves? Here are three handy tricks to make things easier 🧵👇

@NadeevW @ralphoffenhouse Yes same concept in reverse, however no specific criteria to assess this
English
@ralphoffenhouse @rob_buttner Morphology wise? Eg is late transition specific for VT as it suggests apical exit?
English
English
@greedylobster They did it using the centralised monitor with just the rhythm strip
English
@rob_buttner Can't do that on monitors in ED Rob... as far as I'm aware
