Managing Torsades - 5 Slides to Keep Them Alive
Dr. Okonkwo discusses real life torsades management during our Dirty Deep Dive lecture series.
I recently spoke at our EM conference about a patient in my ED who developed Torsades. The patient presented with abdominal pain and intractable vomiting. She received zofran for her symptoms. When the nurse later brought me a not so lovely rhythm strip, I knew exactly what had happened. The patient was treated for Torsades and was discharged a few days later. Here are 5 key summary slides from my lecture as well as a link to the full lecture presented on 7/22/20. Any questions or comments may be sent to enolaokonkwo@usf.edu.
