Taking the time...

How often do you or the EMT's in your agency take a 12-lead? Is it part of your "routine," or are you only initiating one if you truly feel it's a heart related incident? What about patient's who are presenting with flu-like symptoms, or difficulty breathing with respiratory disease history? Do you still complete a FULL cardiac assessment?

Don't forget to assess your patient... completely.
