Due to ‘The Big C’, ECHO Yacht Club was cancelled… but life goes on, and so does our podcast. We decided to turn lemons into lemonade and have our friend and emergency medicine powerhouse Dr. Sal Rezaie join us for a discussion based on what-would-have-been our Yacht Club presentation.
Everyone carries a card that says they know how to manage tachydysrhythmias. But what happens when your interventions don’t work? In this podcast episode, we focus on recent evidence suggesting alternate means of management when the patient remains refractory to conventional therapy. Though controversial, we will NOT be spewing ACLS algorithms. It’s time to live your life a quarter of a milligram at a time.
