Evaluation And Management Of Bradydysrhythmias In The Emergency Department
Date Released: Sep 2013
This review presents the
electrocardiographic findings seen in common bradydysrhythmias
and emphasizes prompt recognition of these patterns. Underlying
etiologies that may accompany these conduction abnormalities are
discussed, including bradydysrhythmias that are reflex mediated
(including trauma induced) and those with metabolic, environmental,
infectious, and toxicologic causes. Evidence regarding the
management of bradydysrhythmias in the emergency department
is limited; however, there are data to guide the approach to the unstable
bradycardic patient. When decreased end-organ perfusion is
present, the use of atropine, beta agonists, and transcutaneous or
transvenous pacing may be required.

Pediatric And Adolescent Chest Pain
Date Released: Aug 2007
The skilled emergency clinician will not dismiss the complaint of chest pain because of the impression that it is rarely serious. While it is true that most children complaining of chest pain do not have a life-threatening condition, there are notable exceptions. The mandate of the emergency physician is to identify the child with a life-threatening condition in a sea of benignity. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to present an overview of the many causes of chest pain in children which should be considered, even if most can be excluded through a careful history and physical exam.
