Dwayne, I've noticed that when you are showing asystole on the monitor, you can get what appears like anything from an agonal to v-fib, depending on what is touching the pt. A simple touch can make an intresting spike and if you are next to a train track in a trailer, you could end up with a pattern...just be sure that nothing and nobody is touching the pt and you should be ok.

I agree. When I have questions (or doubts) about treatment in the ER, I usually wait until things calm down, then "politly" ask the nurses and Dr. what the rational was behind it...I have learned quite a bit that way....most of the time.
