ECG Stampede

THE SETTING: Welcome to the wild west. You’re an attending at a busy county hospital, and beds are scarce. Today is particularly bad, with hordes of patients checking in every minute. You can’t see them, but you need a way to triage them, so your tech brings you stacks of ECGs from the waiting room. THE EXERCISE: Review the ECGs presented to you and assess their acuity. The options are: - Waiting Room: routine triage - Next Available: top of the waiting room - Room Immediately: straight to a bed - Code STEMI: activate the cath lab THE MODES: - Stampede Mode: Play a quick game, ten ECG's with a sparse allotment of beds. - Quiz Mode: Do as many ECG's as you'd like, seeing answers along the way. - Random Mode: Luck of the draw, they're probably all STEMI's.
