Diagnosis
Emergent Pattern Recognition
- Pulmonary edema
- lungs: b/l rales
- CXR: interstitial fluid
- Tx: ECG (R/O AMI), lasix, nitrates, ACE, BIPAP
- Bronchoconstriction
- lungs: wheezes
- CXR: neg/hyperinflated
- Tx: albuterol, atrovent, steroids, consider anaphylaxis (epi)
- Pneumonia
- lungs: focal ronchi/dec BS
- CXR: infiltrate/effusion
- Tx: abx
- PE
- lungs: clear
- CXR: clear/Westrmrk/Hmptn
- Tx: ECG, D-dimer and/or CT; anticoagulate/thrombolytics
- Pneumothorax/Hemothorax
- lungs: unequal
- CXR: pneumo/hemo
- Tx: needle/chest-tube
- Dysrythmia
- lungs: clear/pulm edema
- CXR: clear/pulm edema
- ECG: abnl
- Tx: rate dependent
- Cardiac Ischemia
- lungs: clear/pulm edema
- CXR: clear/pulm edema
- ECG: nl/abnl
- Tx: B-block, nitrates, anticoag, +/- thrombolytics
