So your patient said they were hypotensive but now their bp is fine. What are you supposed to do now? Do you just anchor on his or her bp meds as the cause of the hypotension? In this EMEd lecture we review a systematic approach for these patients. We develop a critical differential based on the causes of shock and then we walk through the work up and the conundrum of whether to admit or dispo these patients.
In this EM Ed lecture we complete our two part series on Dizziness. In this lecture we discuss how to drill down if your patient is having vertigo. We review the general approach, work-up, and management of patients with central and peripheral vertigo.
