Life and Sirens: On and Behind the Scenes

Episode 31: Tachy but Stable?


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re tackling the tricky world of tachycardia with normal blood pressure. We’ve all been there — the monitor shows a heart rate racing into the 150s, but the patient looks fine. Or do they? We’ll break down real-world cases, dive into the most common causes of tachycardia in the field, and share how to tell when it’s time to stay calm versus when it’s time to act. From anxiety and dehydration to hidden arrhythmias, we’re covering it all. Tune in for assessment tips, a few wild stories, and why “stable vitals” doesn’t always mean a stable patient.

As always, if you have a story to tell—funny, wild, heartbreaking, or unforgettable—you can share it through our website. We’d love to feature it on a future episode.
