Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in.

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

I think he’s having runs of VT!” You are called to the monitored area in ED to see a 62-year man who is awaiting a bed under the medics for investigation of an episode of chest pain earlier in the day. He is currently pain free, sat up in bed looking undistressed with a blood pressure of 150/90. The monitor shows intermittent runs of a broad complex rhythm. Can you interpret his ECG?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

I think he’s having runs of VT!” You are called to the monitored area in ED to see a 62-year man who is awaiting a bed under the medics for investigation of an episode of chest pain earlier in the day.

Can you interpret his ECG?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since.

		<description><![CDATA[A 71 year-old man tripped at home and bumped his forehead on the wall as he went to ground. He did not lose consciousness and apart from a minor bruise on his forehead and a major bruise on his ego, his only complaint is markedly blurred vision in his right eye. He has had previous cataract surgery on both eyes. How are you going to manage this case in the emergency department?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

He is currently pain free, sat up in bed looking undistressed with a blood pressure of 150/90. The monitor shows intermittent runs of a broad complex rhythm. Can you interpret his ECG?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A 13 year-old boy with a history of allergic rhinitis is sent in to the emergency department by his family doctor. Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Can you take a look at the patient in bed 2? I think he’s having runs of VT!” You are called to the monitored area in ED to see a 62-year man who is awaiting a bed under the medics for investigation of an episode of chest pain earlier in the day. He is currently pain free, sat up in bed looking undistressed with a blood pressure of 150/90. The monitor shows intermittent runs of a broad complex rhythm. Can you interpret his ECG?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

I think he’s having runs of VT!” You are called to the monitored area in ED to see a 62-year man who is awaiting a bed under the medics for investigation of an episode of chest pain earlier in the day. He is currently pain free, sat up in bed looking undistressed with a blood pressure of 150/90. The monitor shows intermittent runs of a broad complex rhythm. Can you interpret his ECG?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

I think he’s having runs of VT!” You are called to the monitored area in ED to see a 62-year man who is awaiting a bed under the medics for investigation of an episode of chest pain earlier in the day. He is currently pain free, sat up in bed looking undistressed with a blood pressure of 150/90. The monitor shows intermittent runs of a broad complex rhythm. Can you interpret his ECG?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.

		<description><![CDATA[“Can you take a look at the patient in bed 2? I think he’s having runs of VT!” You are called to the monitored area in ED to see a 62-year man who is awaiting a bed under the medics for investigation of an episode of chest pain earlier in the day. He is currently pain free, sat up in bed looking undistressed with a blood pressure of 150/90. The monitor shows intermittent runs of a broad complex rhythm. Can you interpret his ECG?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

I think he’s having runs of VT!” You are called to the monitored area in ED to see a 62-year man who is awaiting a bed under the medics for investigation of an episode of chest pain earlier in the day. He is currently pain free, sat up in bed looking undistressed with a blood pressure of 150/90. The monitor shows intermittent runs of a broad complex rhythm. Can you interpret his ECG?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in.

He did not lose consciousness and apart from a minor bruise on his forehead and a major bruise on his ego, his only complaint is markedly blurred vision in his right eye. He has had previous cataract surgery on both eyes. How are you going to manage this case in the emergency department?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Can you take a look at the patient in bed 2? I think he’s having runs of VT!” You are called to the monitored area in ED to see a 62-year man who is awaiting a bed under the medics for investigation of an episode of chest pain earlier in the day. He is currently pain free, sat up in bed looking undistressed with a blood pressure of 150/90. The monitor shows intermittent runs of a broad complex rhythm. Can you interpret his ECG?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

I think he’s having runs of VT!” You are called to the monitored area in ED to see a 62-year man who is awaiting a bed under the medics for investigation of an episode of chest pain earlier in the day. He is currently pain free, sat up in bed looking undistressed with a blood pressure of 150/90. The monitor shows intermittent runs of a broad complex rhythm. Can you interpret his ECG?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

I think he’s having runs of VT!” You are called to the monitored area in ED to see a 62-year man who is awaiting a bed under the medics for investigation of an episode of chest pain earlier in the day. He is currently pain free, sat up in bed looking undistressed with a blood pressure of 150/90. The monitor shows intermittent runs of a broad complex rhythm. Can you interpret his ECG?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since.

He did not lose consciousness and apart from a minor bruise on his forehead and a major bruise on his ego, his only complaint is markedly blurred vision in his right eye. He has had previous cataract surgery on both eyes. How are you going to manage this case in the emergency department?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A 13 year-old boy with a history of allergic rhinitis is sent in to the emergency department by his family doctor. Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Can you take a look at the patient in bed 2? I think he’s having runs of VT!” You are called to the monitored area in ED to see a 62-year man who is awaiting a bed under the medics for investigation of an episode of chest pain earlier in the day. He is currently pain free, sat up in bed looking undistressed with a blood pressure of 150/90. The monitor shows intermittent runs of a broad complex rhythm. Can you interpret his ECG?]]></description>

Three days previously he was exposed to smoke from a bushfire and has been having difficult breathing since. He has been having sudden exacerbations where his chest and throat feels tight and he feels as though he can’t get any air in. There has been no improvement despite treatment with prednisolone and ventolin over the past 2 days.
Can you diagnose and manage this case?]]></description>

I think he’s having runs of VT!” You are called to the monitored area in ED to see a 62-year man who is awaiting a bed under the medics for investigation of an episode of chest pain earlier in the day. He is currently pain free, sat up in bed looking undistressed with a blood pressure of 150/90. The monitor shows intermittent runs of a broad complex rhythm. Can you interpret his ECG?]]></description>
