ReplyDeleteFrom the vital signs, it appears that the patient was gradually improving during the time recorded. What treatments were delivered? Did the patient presentation match the automated vital signs?
It's hard to buy a 40 point increase in the SBP within 4 minutes. I'm going to have to look at my trip sheet to see when I got the fluid bolus started.
ReplyDeleteI know I veered away from nitrates. I believe all that was given was O2, ASA, & NS.
I will update the post after I check my trip sheet.
