Physical Exam: BP (!) 161/92  | Pulse 108  | Resp 27  | SpO2 100%  Pulse rate pulse OX: 96 bpm Physical Exam Procedures: Electrical Cardioversion (ED)     Sedation: Patient sedated: no   Cardioversion basis: emergent Pre-procedure rhythm: ventricular fibrillation Patient position: patient was placed in a supine position Chest area: chest area exposed Electrodes: pads Electrodes placed: anterior-lateral Number of attempts: 1 Attempt 1 mode: synchronous Attempt 1 waveform: biphasic Attempt 1 shock (in Joules): 150 Attempt 1 outcome: conversion to normal sinus rhythm Post-procedure rhythm: normal sinus rhythm Complications: no complications Patient tolerance: patient tolerated the procedure well with no immediate complications      EKG: EKG time (0626).   sinus tachycardia.   Rate: 101 bpm.   P waves Normal.   Normal PRI.  Normal QRS complex. Normal axis.   ST Segments: elevation in  v1, v2, v3 and v4 .  T Waves: non specific changes .    The study has been independently viewed by me.  The study has been interpreted contemporaneously by me.  The EKG appears to be a good tracing.    Clinical Impression: myocardial infarction  anterior        Rhythm Strip #1: Time (0638).   Lead II.  Rate= 200.   Rhythm: ventricular tachycardia.   Narrow QRS complexes.   Ectopy: none.   The study was interpreted by me.     EKG #2: EKG time (0646).   sinus tachycardia.   Rate: 110 bpm.   P waves Normal.   Normal PRI.  Normal QRS complex. Normal axis.   ST Segments: elevation in  v1, v2, v3, v4 and v5 .  T Waves: non specific changes .    The study has been independently viewed by me.  The study has been interpreted contemporaneously by me.  The EKG appears to be a good tracing.    Clinical Impression: myocardial infarction  anterior when compared to earlier ECG               Decision Support: ED Course:   62 y.o. male with hx of HTN and HLD presents with intermittent worsening central burning CP beginning a couple weeks ago now feels constant associated with dizziness today.    Initial exam notable for hear regular lungs clear and trace pitting edema. VS reviewed, hypertensive at 171/97, tachycardic at 116 and SPO2 is WNL.     DDx includes ACS including STEMI, tension pneumothorax, pulmonary embolism, ruptured esophagus, pneumonia, pericardial tamponade, traumatic hemothorax.     06:26 STEMI activated. Plan to obtain CBC, CMP, troponin and CXR.    06:30  I spoke with Dr. who accepts pt for transfer to cath lab. All transfer paperwork completed.    06:35 Pt suddenly went into V-fib then went into cardiac arrest, one round of compressions was done and he was shocked once into sinus rhythm. We gave magnesium, one ativan then pt's rate increased to 190, so then we shocked at 150 then pt went back to sinus rhythm, and started an amiodarone bolus 150.    --magnesium 2 g IV --amiodarone 1.5 mg/mL IV --heparin BOLUS 5,000 Units IV --heparin 1,000 Units infusion IV --amiodarone 150 mg IV --amiodarone 1 mg IV --Ativan 2 mg IV     Critical care time was provided for 35 minutes by the attending physician, exclusive of separately billable procedures and treating other patients.  This was necessary to treat or prevent further deterioration of the following condition(s) Circulatory failure which the patient had and/or had a high probability of suddenly developing.    Labs and Imaging Reviewed: CBC is WNL.  CMP shows elevated BUN at 24, elevated CR at 1.32 and hyperglycemia at 155. Troponin is elevated at 0.04. Covid PCR negative.  X-RAY of chest, a 1-view study, image reviewed by me, read by radiology, shows: No evidence of acute chest pathology.       Diagnosis and Disposition:   Impression: 1.   Chest pain, unspecified type  2.   Ventricular fibrillation seen on cardiac monitor (HCC)  3.   Cardiac arrest (HCC)    Condition: stable Disposition: Transfer to Hospital to Cath Lab       Scribing for and in the presence of, Dr.   Dr., personally performed the services described in this documentation, as scribed ED Notes Nurse at 07/15/21 0626 EKG  Nurse at 07/15/21 0627 EKG completed and given to dr.
