Revisiting this strip from last week... The majority of responses called for either cardioversion or rate control for our sick patient... However, she was in septic shock, and needed several liters of fluid before the rate returned to a normal range. Determining treatment for patients in AFib w/RVR is not easy!

She must've had an underlying condition of HTN, because her MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure) wasn't below 65 .... (although, <65 is what we use to call a Sepsis alert.) .... so her lactate must have been out of wack.
MAP formula ..... Systolic X's 2 plus diastolic divided by 3
86(2) + 60 / 3 .... 172+60 / 3 = 77.3 MAP
Trap .... Your prize, along with everyone else's is ...... Greater Knowledge and Understanding. (looks like you're stuck with that nipple ring)
