What is the most important sign in a critically ill pt? Why? - ANSWER-Tachypnea Indicates metabolic acidosis (often w/ respiratory alkalosis compensation) A pt misses dialysis for a few days and comes in with fluid overload. He's tachycardic and tachypneic. On physical exam, you find JVD, pulsus paradoxus (20 mmHg drop during inspiration), and HoTN (80/40) with distant, muffled heart sounds. Lungs are clear to auscultation. What is the dx? - ANSWER-Cardiac tamponade; obstructive shock ...
