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.Entities:
