Emedinews: Makesure: A patient with suspected heart attack with blood pressure of 40 mm Hg with warm peripheries died.


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 have cold shock.
