EM Rosh Boost Exam
Iron Toxicity Treatment - ANS-Chelating agent (Deferoxamine) and ICU admit
Mobitz Type II 2nd degree AV block Treatment - ANS-Acute: admit for continuous
cardiac monitoring and further workup (even if HDS)
Definitively: pacemaker
ARDS risk factors - ANS-Direct Lung Injury(Aspiration, Pneumonia, Chest Trauma,

ARDS - criteria for diagnosis - ANS--Respiratory sxs onset <1 week of known clinical
insult OR new or worsening Sxs in past 1 week
-CXR or CT shows BL opacities consistent with pulmonary edema
-Respiratory failure not explained by HF/fluid overload
