@drjoe_md: It looks alarming, but there's a reason we do it. Briefly placing a child's face in ice water can trigger the diving reflex, which activates the vagus nerve and may slow certain types of dangerously fast heart rhythms. In this case, the child's heart was racing after receiving too much albuterol. Sometimes the strangest-looking treatments are backed by solid physiology. #pediatrics #asthma #parentingtips #emergencymedicine #edutokcontest

I’m an asthmatic whose HR is always elevated. I hate when I have to use my inhaler or nebulizer 😐. My normal resting HR is around 115-120.
