Acutely Ill Patient


Profoundly sick patient, call for help, don't panic instead focus on ABCs and you can work it out

Acutely Ill Patient
  • Airway: Give O₂, ensure airways patent and assess. Guedel or other airways support. Simple steps buy time to think through plan
  • Breathing: Hypoventilating and deteriorating then get Ambu bag and prepare to assist and get ITU to assess urgently for ventilation. Give naloxone and treat any hypoglycaemia
  • Circulation: Give IV fluids (Crystalloids). Give blood if bleeding and FFP and TXA and get surgeons/pressure etc.. Defibrillate hypotension due to a tachyarrhythmia, Atropine or transcutaneous/transvenous pace bradycardia. Give fluids/blood if bleeding. Give O negative if exsanguinating. Thrombolysis if large PE. PCI or thrombolysis if ST elevating infarcting heart. Caution with IV fluids if pulmonary oedema.
  • Do not move unstable patients e.g. to x-ray e.g. for CTPA or CT head or CT abdomen or even a CXR until stabilised, and then only with adequate support, vascular access, monitoring and appropriate escort. It is not a good place to manage a cardiac arrest
Introduction
  • Work quickly and logically. POCUS may be useful.
  • Start O₂ and get IV access and start Observations.
  • Find a central pulse and monitor it. Always think ABC.
  • Check airway is fine, check breathing and circulation.
  • Get early IV access, Decompress tension PTX if likely.
  • Significant haemorrhage: Give blood if bleeding out.
  • Comatose assess need for ABC and Intubation
  • Consider urinary catheter if shocked to monitor output.
  • Antibiotics Co-Amoxiclav 1.2 g IV 6-8 hourly +/- Gentamicin or local guidance if not pen allergic
  • High yield tests if well enough: Coma CT Scan. Breathless ECG, CXR, Bedside Echocardiogram, Chest pain: ECG, CXR, CT Aorta. Dimer. Lactate, ABG. Abdominal pain: Erect CXR, CT abdomen
Always keep asking if patient not improving
  • Is the diagnosis correct?
  • Is the diagnosis complete?
  • Could there be more than one diagnosis?
  • What information do I need -is that test available
  • Shall I phone a friend - my registrar/consultant
Airway
Breathlessness
  • Mechanical Airways Issue: fast bleep anaesthetics/ENT if stridor and suspected epiglottitis do not examine airway. Give oxygen.
  • Otherwise Head tilt, chin lift and inspect mouth. Remove any obstruction.
  • Hypoventilating: Give naloxone 0.4 mg (400mcg) repeated as needed. Can give up to 2 mg initially and max 10 mg. High flow oxygen, oropharyngeal airway, Ambu bag. Anaesthetic help. RSI. Other causes could be neurological? Myasthenia, GBS, MND
  • Tension Pneumothorax. Pushes lungs away. Resonant. Decreased air entry. Context e.g. ventilated or trauma. Then decompress with needle 2nd space and mid-clavicular line
  • Acute LVF: Crackles, Sitting up, Tachypnoeic. Give GTN and IV Frusemide and get ECG and CXR. If STEMI fast track for reperfusion.
  • Acute PE: Type 1 RF. Chest pain. Tachypnoeic. ECG tachycardia. If Hypotensive consider Bedside Echo if available and/or CTPA. Consider IV heparin. Consider thrombolysis if haemodynamic compromised
  • Acute Severe Asthma: Tiring patient. Begins to CO₂ retain and become hypoxia. Get ITU to see. See section
  • Exacerbation of COPD: Known COPD. Wheeze, tachypnoeic. Prolonged expiratory phase. 24-28% oxygen. Consider NIV
  • Pneumonia/COVID19: CXR changes, hypoxia
  • Hyperventilating: Panic attack. Low PCO₂. Diagnose when all else excluded
Decompressing Tension Pneumothorax

Hypotensive
  • If no clear cause consider a trial of 500 ml of N-Saline and reassess. If breathless then trial 250 ml unless clearly in pulmonary oedema.
  • Haemorrhagic shock: GI bleed, liver disease, varices
  • Septic Shock: Infection. Lactate high Start Sepsis 6 with broad-spectrum IV antibiotics
  • Leaking AAA: abdominal pain. Palpable aneurysms. IV access. Vascular consult
  • Ectopic pregnancy: Fertile female shock and abdominal pain
  • Cardiogenic shock: Recent Chest pain but can be silent, Get ECG STEMI, New murmur. Telemetry, Echocardiogram
  • Dissection Aortic Aneurysm: chest pain needs CT aorta, BP control and cardiothoracic
  • Anaphylaxis: bee sting, drug, penicillin. Urticaria, wheeze, rash. Needs IM Adrenaline and 1L N-Saline over 30 mins
  • Cardiac tamponade High JVP, Muffled heart sounds, trauma, anticoagulated, BP fall with inspiration and cannot be palpated (pulsus paradoxus)
  • Pulmonary embolism: tachypnoeic. High JVP, Loud P2, DVT, Risk factors, ECG changes. CXR may be normal
  • Meningococcal septicaemia: non-blanching rash, fever, malaise, obtunded, meningism
  • Addison disease: Pigmentation
Treating Anaphylaxis: See topic

Chest Pain
  • Acute coronary syndrome: get CXR. Treat ACS
  • Acute Aortic dissection: Get CXR, CT Aortogram/TOE. Avoid antithrombotics until excluded
  • Acute Pulmonary Embolism: CTPA
  • Oesophageal disease: rupture, inflammation, GORD
Comatose
  • Hypoglycaemia: Give Glucose
  • Opiates: Give naloxone 0.4 mg (400mcg) repeated as needed. Can give up to 2 mg initially and max 10 mg
  • Space Occupying lesion: get CT head
  • Alcohol intoxication or other drugs
  • Meningitis/Encephalitis: Treat Aciclovir/Ceftriaxone and consider LP
  • Massive stroke (ischaemic, haemorrhagic or SAH) or bilateral thalamic infarct
  • Post seizure or Non convulsive status
  • Cerebral malaria: foreign travel
Arrhythmias
  • If rate < 50 or > 120 then ask If the rhythm could be the case.
  • See algorithm for bradycardia and tachycardia. Get ECG
  • Tachycardia causing hypotension: DC cardioversion
  • Bradycardia causing hypotension: Atropine, External or Transvenous Pacing wire
Abdominal Pain
  • Leaking AAA: abdominal pain and hypotension. IV access. Vascular surgeons
  • Acute Pancreatitis: peritonism, bruising flanks
  • Perforated viscus: CXR and CT abdomen to establish cause. NBM. IV fluids, Broad spectrum antibiotics
  • Ectopic pregnancy: fertile female. Abdominal pain and collapse
  • GI bleed: Needs endoscopy, PPI and vasopressin if varices suspected. Correct coagulopathy. Transfuse as needed
Causes of breathlessness predominately
Acute epiglottitis Uncommon in adults but can occur at all ages. Usually a drooling, quiet child with stridor. If concerns about airway summon anaesthetist urgently before examining in case there is acute obstruction. Classic 'tripod' position of the patient, drooling, high fever, and a toxic appearance. In the presence of respiratory distress, diagnostic procedures and radiography are not indicated, and securing the airway should be prioritized with the availability of a team capable of performing an immediate tracheotomy.
Upper airway obstruction - stridor laryngeal oedema, inhaled foreign body, burns. Inspect and remove if possible. Anaesthetic help. If intubation is impossible then a cricothyrotomy may be needed. An incision is made through the cricothyroid membrane and standard tracheostomy tubes can be inserted. An alternative is needle cannulation of the cricothyroid membrane with a large gauge intravenous needle inserted at 45 degrees. The escape of air confirms positioning. The introducer needle can be removed, and the plastic cannula fed on down. Attach a 3ml syringe to the catheter which can be attached to a 7 mm ET tube adaptor to allow bag-valve ventilation using 10-15L/min of oxygen. Stridor may suggest anaphylaxis and the need for IV Hydrocortisone and Chlorpheniramine and adrenaline.
Pneumothorax Quick chest exam to assess air entry. Hyper-resonant quiet side may be a Pneumothorax. CXR diagnostic. If PTX and falling BP consider Tension PTX below.
Tension Pneumothorax Quick chest exam to assess air entry. Hyper-resonant overinflated quiet side may be a Tension Pneumothorax which pushes the trachea away from the affected side and reduces cardiac output. Patients in extremis and BP falling. There is no time for a CXR and a needle must be inserted 2nd ICS on the affected resonant side with the sudden release of air. If you choose the wrong side then simply do the other. Context important and maybe ventilated patient, recent central line insertion or chest would and trauma. Once pressure is relieved insert a chest drain.
Pleural effusion or consolidation Dullness could be fluid or consolidation. Get a CXR. Drain effusion. May require intubation and ventilation if in respiratory failure. Bronchoscopy to pull out inhaled foreign bodies.
Pulmonary embolism common. Dyspnoeic, Raised JVP,RV heave, Loud P2, signs of DVT. CXR often normal. Elevated dimers and risk factors. Anti-coagulate. Thrombolysis in selected severe cases.
Exacerbation of COPD Pre-existing COPD. Type 2 RF on ABG. Wheezy. Consider NIV or if acidotic then discuss ITU admission with intensivists
Acute severe asthma Known Asthmatic. Reduced PEFR. Wheezy
Acute LVF Acute dyspnoea, Basal crackles, triple rhythm. Worse lying flat. CXR diagnostic. ECG to look for STEMI needing PPCI. Echo when possible
Pneumonia Dullness, reduced air entry, pleurisy, fever, raised WCC and CRP. Consolidation on CXR may not be seen very acutely.
Hypoventilating respiratory failure COPD, Obesity, Sedation, CO₂ narcosis, respiratory muscle weakness
Respiratory muscle weakness High cervical cord lesion, Guillain Barre syndrome, Myopathy, Motor neuron disease, muscular dystrophies. Monitor FEV and FVC
Metabolic acidosis 'Kussmaul breathing' DKA, salicylate overdose etc
Panic attack Setting of stress or anxiety. Examination normal. Respiratory alkalosis.

Causes of Shock/Hypotension
Complete heart block needs Atropine, inotropes and external and then temporary pacing
VT or compromising tachyarrhythmia DC countershock. Amiodarone, Magnesium.
Sepsis May be warm and vasodilated, Fever, Raised WCC, Raised CRP. Fluids + antibiotics immediately
Anaphylaxis Bee sting, nuts, drug. IM Adrenaline + Hydrocortisone
Haemorrhage Gastrointestinal with haematemesis or melaena on glove. Hidden bleeding e.g. retroperitoneal, psoas particularly in those on Warfarin. Haemorrhagic pancreatitis.
Pulmonary embolism see above
Cardiogenic shock STEMI, Myocarditis. Needs Echo. STEMI which needs only an ECG to diagnose needs PPCI
Cardiac Tamponade Raised JVP, Hypotension, Globular heart on CXR. Needs Echo. Needs drainage.
Acute Aortic regurgitation. Marked EDM. Usually, endocarditis or dissection or trauma. Needs medical and surgical management.
Acute Mitral regurgitation Marked PSM. Endocarditis or papillary muscle infarction.
Acute Ventricular septal defect Marked PSM. seen post MI
Meningococcal septicaemia Purpura - Antibiotics + Fluids + ITU
Ruptured Abdominal aortic aneurysm Fluids and Vascular surgeons
Tension pneumothorax See above
Dissecting thoracic aorta lower BP in left arm or pulseless with pain into back. CT chest. Supportive and cardiothoracic referral
Ruptured abdominal viscus Free air under diaphragm. Rigid abdomen. Needs supportive measures and surgical review
Hypovolaemia Diabetic ketoacidosis, Diabetes insipidus. Polyuria, Hypernatraemia.

Comatose
Head injury external signs may be apparent. Needs trauma review and CT head and neurosurgeons. Look for Haemorrhage, Oedema
Stroke large haemorrhage with raised ICP (cerebellar bleeds do well with surgery), Large infarct with oedema (consider hemicraniectomy), Secondary hydrocephalus needing shunting
Hypoglycaemia Reduce Insulin, Glucagon, 50 ml of 50% IV dextrose
Opiates IV Naloxone 0.8-2.0 mg stat and repeated as half-life short
Post ictal Supportive if fitting has stopped
Post cardiac arrest Supportive
Liver failure jaundice, abnormal LFTs, signs of liver failure
Drug overdose Consider alcohol, opiates, sedations, benzodiazepines and antidotes
