Q

How to differentiatte the cause of TR based on RV pressures

A

If RVs is > 60 mmHg then tricuspid regurigation in functional and due to left sided heart pressure

if the RVs > 40 then there is a substantial organic component

If there is no gradient between the RA to PA diastolic …

A

the the RV likely has severe dysfunction

tricuspid valve replacement will likely not help

particularly gun shot wounds, may be associated with multiple other injuries.

need to be suspicious for an esophageal injury. EGD should be done prior to closing the chest.
