UPDATE: The Diagnoses

I am hoping the ED docs will get some feedback after the autopsy, and they'll at least share a cause with us. I am not sure on the values of specific labs other than hearing hospital staff repeating over and over (in utter frustration) that all his labs were good. Speaking of arrhythmias, somebody did mention the possibility of a R-on-T throwing him into v-fib. There was no telemetry monitoring at the time because he was being transferred. He was already in asystole by the time ED got their monitor on him.

Unfortunately, the limited information is something we had to deal with as well. ED made contact with his parents during the code but they provided no information that could help. As for the pain, he simply describe the pain being on his left, lower side. I did fail to mention his color. He lost color right after arresting and it never came back. ED docs put a good tube in and had clear lung sounds. Also dumped a significant amount of fluids into him with no change.
