Article Synopsis
- Geospatial smartphone applications are being used to gather community responses for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but many activations may involve patients who aren’t actually experiencing cardiac arrest.
- A 3-year study in four U.S. communities tracked cases where this technology was activated for suspected OHCA, revealing that over half of the 1,023 non-arrest patients had various medical conditions like syncope and seizures.
- Common EMS interventions included placing IV lines and administering naloxone, suggesting that these non-arrest conditions could benefit from quicker care response times.
Article Synopsis
- - An 84-year-old man experienced angina and was diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction while watching the impeachment hearings of President Trump.
- - Medical tests revealed he had Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, a condition often triggered by stress, rather than traditional coronary artery disease.
- - This case is significant as it suggests that political stress could potentially lead to serious cardiac events, prompting the need for further research in this area.
