The state orders EMTs to with hold the pt nitro if the systolic BP is lss than 100. However, for paramedics if the patient is having a posterior wall MI (shown on a right sided EKG) we have to withold nitro until the systolic is above 120. The question is, how does the EMT-B know that the patient is not having a posterior wall MI? By dropping his pressure? EMT-first responder..call 911
