Case Resolution

The EMS paramedics add their defibrillator with pads in the anterior-posterior position and provide DSED. The patient is successfully defibrillated and transported to the local emergency department.

Remember to be skeptical of anything you learn, even if you heard it on the Skeptics’ Guide to Emergency Medicine.

Thank you to Dr. Seam Moore, an emergency physician working in Kenora, Ontario, for his help with this review.
