Q

ACC/AHA

A

think the up down risk stratification

Ge >75
Pain at rest
New or worsening murmur or heart sounds

DOWN:
 - ST in initial ECG 
- BP 
UP:
- troponin 
UP / DOWN 
- HR

Q

Definition for pull edema

A
  • fluid accumulation in the lungs (air spaces and parenchyma) which impairs gas exchange and MAY lead to respiratory distress and failure, hypoxia, cardiac arrest and health
  • can be cariogenic (LV failure) § or NON cariogenic (ARDS, barotrauma)
