Abstract:
Immediate diagnosis and management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a condition resulting from the complete occlusion of a coronary artery, is critical to achieving optimal patient outcomes. This report outlines an acute inferior STEMI simulation which can be used for teaching different levels of learner including novice, intermediate and advanced. It focuses on the presentation, diagnosis, and management of inferior myocardial infarctions. Additionally, it incorporates the advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) protocol for more advanced learners and uses the CanMEDS collaborator/communicator role as an adjunct objective for all learners.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
