A middle-aged male was found down. EMS was able to get the patient to climb onto the ambulance by himself, then during transport he became less responsive. They briefly could not find pulses, and gave a short period of CPR with ROSC, but he did not require a shock. They gave Narcan without improvement. An oral airway was placed and BVM oxygenation provided. The patient arrived unable to provide any further history. BP was 180/100, HR 130, Oxygen saturations 84%. He was intubated. A bedside ultrasound showed poor global function and B-lines of pulmonary edema. Here was the first ECG:
