π©» Know Your Quadrants! Understanding abdominal anatomy = better assessments. πβ¨ πΉ RUQ (Right Upper Quadrant): Liver, gallbladder, part of pancreas, and right kidney. πΉ LUQ (Left Upper Quadrant): Stomach, spleen, part of pancreas, and left kidney. πΉ RLQ (Right Lower Quadrant): Appendix, cecum, and part of the small intestine. πΉ LLQ (Left Lower Quadrant): Descending colon, sigmoid colon, and part of the small intestine. π‘ Pro tip: Pain location = big clues for diagnoses.

π 12-Lead ECGs: More Than Chest Pain π« While chest pain gets the spotlight, a 12-lead ECG can uncover life-threatening conditions in other chief complaints too: β’ Syncope? π Could be a silent STEMI or arrhythmia. β’ Shortness of breath? π€ Look for pulmonary embolism, ischemia, or ventricular strain. β’ Weakness or dizziness? π§ Clues to electrolyte imbalances or cardiac issues might be hidden. β’ Lethargy? π΄ Sometimes itβs the subtle signs of a heart under stress. Donβt underestimate the power of a 12-leadβitβs a diagnostic lifesaver for more than just chest pain! πβ‘ #ems #emt #paramedic #paramedicsoftiktok #paramedicsophie #emstiktok #firstresponders #emshumor #ambulance #paramediclife #emtsoftiktok #paramedics #emslife #emtschool #hems #flightmedic #emergencymedicine #firefighter #mediclife

π«What the Leads Tell You: Each group of leads corresponds to a specific area of the heart. ST-elevation in these leads points to where the heart is ischemic: β€οΈ Anterior Wall (LAD artery): β‘οΈ Leads V1-V4 π Lateral Wall (Circumflex artery): β‘οΈ Leads I, aVL, V5, V6 π Inferior Wall (RCA): β‘οΈ Leads II, III, aVF π Posterior Wall (PDA, RCA, or LCx): β‘οΈ Look for reciprocal changes in V1-V3 (ST-depression, tall R waves). π‘ Why It Matters: Identifying the location of a STEMI helps determine which coronary artery is occluded and guides rapid intervention (e.g., PCI, thrombolytics). Remember, time is muscle! ππͺ #ems #emt #paramedic #paramedicsoftiktok #paramedicsophie #emstiktok #firstresponders #emshumor #ambulance #paramediclife #emtsoftiktok #paramedics #emslife #emtschool #hems #flightmedic #emergencymedicine #firefighter #mediclife
