Abstract

Pseudo-atrial flutter is an EKG artifact that mimics a true atrial flutter. We report a case of pseudo-atrial flutter in a 67-year-old male with quadriplegia and ventilator dependence due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) who was hospitalized for respite care. Ihe pseudo-atrial flutterwas found to be due to percussions from a built-in chest wall percussion device in a hospital mattress used for chest physiotherapy.

期刊介绍： The Connecticut State Medical Society (CSMS) is a federation of eight component county medical associations, with a total membership exceeding 7,000 physicians. CSMS itself is a constituent state entity of the American Medical Association. Founded by the physician-patriots of the American Revolution, the Society operates from a heritage of democratic principles embodied in its Charter and Bylaws. The base of all authority in CSMS is, of course, the individual physician member. It is the decisions of members in their own county associations that ultimately determine the nature of the Society"s policies and activities.
