Intubated 73 year old man transferred from a peripheral hospital in cardiogenic shock following administration of sotalol, xylocaine and verapamil for broad-complex tachycardia. He had a large basal aneurysm from an old inferior infarction but no reversible ischæmia on thallium testing. He ended up transferred to another large hospital as our Intensive Care Unit was full. Eventually he received an ICD in Sydney.
