Blunt trauma to the thorax can be viciously dangerous and carries high mortality which warrants aggressive resuscitation and life-saving measures failing which cardiac arrest can occur. We present a case of a polytrauma male patient in the emergency department with diaphragmatic rupture, and bilateral pelvic and clavicular fractures in hypovolemic...
Given the high morbidity and mortality associated with cardiopulmonary arrest, there have been multiple trials aimed at better monitoring and augmenting coronary, cerebral, and systemic perfusion. This article aims to elucidate these interventions, first by detailing the physiology of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the available tools for managi...
Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PVT) is a lethal cardiac arrhythmia. It requires medical intervention, including defibrillation, or imminent death may result. A 26-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with complaints of syncope while working on the farm; later diagnostic testing indicated PVT. As cardiovascular disorders...
