Emedinews Makesure: a patient with suspected heart attack


Situation: A patient with suspected heart attack with blood pressure of 40 mm Hg with warm peripheries died?

Reaction: Oh my God! Why was a diagnosis of anaphylaxis not considered?.
Lesson: Make sure all patients with warm shock are managed on the lines of sepsis or anaphylaxis. Heart attack will present as cold shock.
