This week we have a chat with Silas Houghton Budd about the elusive ECG/EKG. Silas is a critical care / HEMS paramedic with experience in NHS critical care and motorsport medicine roles. He has professional interests in airway management, resuscitation and ECG interpretation, and research experience in paramedic airway management. Silas has been teaching ECG interpretation for nearly ten years and has a DipECG from the Society for Cardiological Science & Technology. 

We go through the importance of ECG's as part of our prehospital assessment, when to do it, how to approach it and some challenges that may be faced when making a pPCI referral.
