For children with severe croup (stridor at rest), albuterol = no good. Neb 1:1,000 Epi, does NOT have to be racemic! #FOAMed #FOAMems #EMS

Easy, but important case to quickly improve on new #ECG patterns! 57-year-old male makes an early morning call to EMS for chest pain lasting 30 minutes and radiating to the arm. History of prior PCI. Diagnosis?
