The goal of this study was to determine if a change in body position alters the 12-lead electrocardiographic (ECG) interpretation for ischemia and ST-segment elevation, the latter having direct implications for initial patient management in the emergency department.
Twelve-lead ECGs were sequentially obtained from a convenience sample of healthy adult volunteers in 3 positions (supine, 0 degrees; inclined, 45 degrees; and upright, 90 degrees). The tracings were randomized, blinded, and then independently read by 2 trained emergency medicine physicians who also assessed for the presence of ischemia and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Seventy-five subjects were enrolled, with 7 (9%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4-18) having ischemia on the supine ECG, 9 (12%; 95% CI, 6-22) on the incline, and 9 on the upright tracings. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction pattern was present on 2 (3%; 95% CI, 0-9) supine, 2 inclined, and 2 upright ECGs.
Changes in body position result in some ischemic variations of the 12-lead ECG.
本研究的目的是确定体位改变是否会改变12导联心电图(ECG)对缺血和ST段抬高的解读,后者对急诊科患者的初始管理有直接影响。
从健康成年志愿者的便利样本中按顺序获取12导联心电图,共3个体位(仰卧位,0度;倾斜位,45度;直立位,90度)。心电图记录随机化、设盲,然后由2名训练有素的急诊医学医生独立阅读,他们还评估是否存在缺血和ST段抬高型心肌梗死。
共纳入75名受试者,仰卧位心电图有7例(9%;95%置信区间[CI],4 - 18)存在缺血,倾斜位有9例(12%;95% CI,6 - 22),直立位有9例。仰卧位、倾斜位和直立位心电图各有2例(3%;95% CI,0 - 9)出现ST段抬高型心肌梗死图形。
体位改变会导致12导联心电图出现一些缺血性变化。
