Just wondering here, you've got your IV set up for TKO but yet she's hypotensive. Would you consider a fluid bolus and if so, how much?
Also, would you consider cardioverting as an option and if so, how? (
Adel, this is for you as well.
)
Oh and BTW .... How much ASA and O2 are you giving? #attentiontodetail
