You’re an ICU Nurse working in the ICU. Another busy day, short staffed, and you have Medical Nurses helping out
A Float Nurse tells you a 68-year-old Patient in room 114 had a drop in B/P and his EKG Rhythm changed. Patient is 2nd day post-op for abdominal surgery, on a ventilator, and sedated.

You look at the Monitor, what do you see?
You See Sinus rhythm with Multifocal PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions) In report 2 hours ago the Patient was in a Sinus Rhythm with occasional PVCs. You look back on the Monitor one hour ago & this what you see below. What is suspicious to you?
You print out the two EKG Rhythms from above which are 1 hour apart. Time now is 0905. Compare them below and what do you see?
Now slide the R-CAT Window or the R-CAT EKG Badge on the Baseline of each EKG Rhythm. What do you see?
Your suspicions are confirmed. The R-CAT product confirmed the patient also has ST Elevation. You notify the Doctor, order a 12 lead EKG and labs, including Troponins. The 12 Lead EKG also shows Significant ST Elevation in Leads III, avF, and ST Depression in Leads I and aVL which are reciprocal. Troponin 2.8
A STEMI Alert was called. The patient went to the Cath Lab and had a Stent placed in his Right Coronary Artery located in the Inferior Wall of his Heart. Pt did well and had a good outcome.
