Debriefing Plan<br />

A. Method of debriefing: Group with multimedia teaching materials<br />

B. Debriefing materials: See Appendix C<br />

C. Potential debriefing topics<br />

1. Team dynamics<br />

a. Leadership<br />

b. Collaboration<br />

c. Communication<br />

d. Professionalism<br />

2. Didactic material<br />

a. Presentation<br />

i. Varying presentation of MI in different locations of heart;<br />

importance of preload dependent inferior MIs<br />

ii. Similarity in presentation of inferior MI and peptic ulcer disease or<br />

“indigestion”<br />

b. Pathophysiology<br />

i. Atherosclerotic vs. nonatherosclerotic causes<br />

ii. Laboratory results: troponin, CK levels and why they would be<br />

normal in setting of acute infarct<br />

c. Treatment<br />

i. Need for immediate diagnosis and reperfusion for the acute MI<br />

ii. Role of IV fluids in the hypotensive patient with suspected<br />

inferior/right ventricle infarct<br />

iii. Role of aspirin therapy: decrease mortality and reinfarction rates<br />

iv. Role of atropine for symptomatic bradycardia in inferior MI (and<br />

pathophysiology behind bradycardia)<br />

v. Role of pressors in an inferior MI patient<br />

vi. Role of anticoagulation (literature regarding heparin vs low weight<br />

molecular heparin)<br />

vii. Role of acute beta-blockade, nitrates, and morphine<br />

1. B-blocker: heart rate control and resultant decrease of<br />

myocardial O 2 demand to reduce rates of reinfarction,<br />

recurrent ischemia and potentially mortality<br />

2. Nitrates: preload reduction and symptomatic relief but no<br />

apparent impact on mortality rate<br />

3. Contraindications in the hypotensive MI patient<br />

viii. Role of platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa-receptor antagonist<br />

ix. Discussion of Right sided EKG<br />

x. Treatment options: thrombolytic therapy vs. heart catheterization<br />

(PCI) vs. coronary bypass graft<br />

Development and Revisions<br />

This case, along with it precursors (reference Gordon, below) and variants have been used over several<br />

years for a wide range of students, including high school, college, masters/PhD candidates, medical<br />

students (preclinical and clinical) and resident trainees. The presentation and progression is tailored to the<br />

level of the learner; often the Anterior MI case is paired with the Inferior MI case to allow students to<br />
