TEST STRIPS
Case Study Three: A 44-year-old man complains of severe chest pain. He has diaphoresis, a BP of 80/60, and 24 respirations per min. The initial rhythm, recorded by the paramedics, is shown in strip 22. An IV is started and the patient is given oxygen. Because his condition is unstable, he receives sedation and cardioversion (strip 23). There is no change, and cardioversion is performed a second time (strip 24).
