MOI
6 rules of STEMI searching
1.consider the patient
chest pain = 12 lead
- assess quality of the strip
- rate/rhythm
- QRS duration
- consider the STEMI leads and the company they keep
septal leads 12 lead
v1/v2
anterior leads 12 lead
v3/v4
lateral leads 12 lead
v5/v6, 1/aVL
inferior leads 12 lead
ll/lll/aVF
what should you look at first
2/3/aVF
pericarditis 12 lead
ST elevation in majority of leads
inferior mi
changes in septal/anterior/inferior
