A 68 year old male is brought into the emergency department having been found collapsed at a bus stop. He was known to have a long history of hypertension for which he takes a thiazide diuretic with variable BP control. A previous ECG demonstrated left ventricular hypertrophy with 1st degree heart block of which he was asymptomatic. His wife reports that he had been complaining of strange intermittent thumping sensations in his chest over the preceding few weeks with dizzy episodes. On arrival to ED he is grey and sweaty but conscious and orientated. His observations are: HR 35 irregular BP 90/38 (Difficult to measure) RR 20 SpO2 94% What does his ECG show? How would you manage this patient?

Sinus arrest with junctional escape beat. There are tall P waves with ST depressions. What about electrolytes as the patient is on diuretic? If lytes are within normal range, then it's SSS.
