Agreement in electrocardiogram interpretation in patients with septic shock*
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The reliability of electrocardiogram interpretation to diagnose myocardial ischemia in critically ill patients is unclear. In adults with septic shock, we assessed intra- and inter-rater agreement of electrocardiogram interpretation, and the effect of knowledge of troponin values on these interpretations.
DESIGN: Prospective substudy of a randomized trial of vasopressin vs. norepinephrine in septic shock.
