Medical Data Interpretation

Defibrillation will not be helpful to patients with one of these rhythms. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be administered and attempts made to reverse the cause of cardiac arrest. Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) (also known as electromechanical dissociation or EMD) The heart rhythm is indistinguishable from a heart rhythm normally compatible with life. Asystole There is no identifiable cardiac electrical activity. It is important to adjust the gain on the ECG monitor to ensure that ‘fine’ ventricular fibrillation is not missed.

If one of these rhythms is identified, the priority in treatment is to deliver electricity to the heart using a defibrillator. Ventricular fibrillation (VF) This is identified by the erratic nature of the electrical activity. It is random and unpredictable. It is sometimes classified as being fine or coarse depending on whether the electrical activity is of small (fine) or large (coarse) amplitude. Ventricular tachycardia (VT) This is a broad QRS complex tachycardia that has a very distinctive appearance on an ECG monitor. It is not always associated with cardiac arrest but is always a significant arrhythmia.

When a patient has a cardiac arrest, the heart stops pumping blood around the body. The electrical activity in the heart does not always stop immediately, however, and the immediate advanced management of patients with cardiac arrest is largely determined by exactly what is happening to the heart rhythm. It is imperative that you are able to identify each of the following rhythms.

When interpreting an ECG, always use the following headings: Heart rate Heart rhythm Cardiac axis P waves QRS complexes ST segment Q–T interval T waves

Hi, I am back again. Today I finished my third app after a hard work. I call it "Easy Emergencies".  In this app, I covered the most common topics that a practitioner face in his clinic or in an ER. Subjects like Anaphylaxis, Animal bites, MI, Coma, Diabetic Ketoacidosis and etc. I designed it in a way that you can jump to a topic that you want. For example, if you need to know to manage full partial burnings, just click on the button of management and ignore the rest of the data to save your patient time. Here are some screenshots: You can Download it HERE or scan the barcode below: Cheers Max

   Hey everyone,    This is another application that I developed the other day. with this app, you can easily read and interpret an ECG in the clinic or at a party 😅(You know people, when they know that you are a doctor, they remind their pains and problems!!). Also with this app, you can review the most important aspect of ECG in a fast way. All doctors, medical students and nurses can download and use it.    Here are some screenshots:    You can download it from Google Play or click Here .      Or you can use your Barcode Scanner: Cheers

     One of the biggest struggles in practice for emergency doctors and primary health care practitioner is how and when to refer a case to secondary or tertiary healthcare.    After many case-study and getting feedback from my colleagues and friends, I came up with an idea to develop an application for Android mobile to tackle this issue.  I call it "Patient Referral Criteria" which is an online application and it is available in Google Play  in the world over. I got much positive feedback from the users. I tried to cover main emergencies situations and show how to manage them by flowcharts and diagrams.    Here are some screenshots: You can download it here  or you can use your barcode scanner and scan the barcode below: Cheers
