Case 17 — Hypertension on VA

Handover

VA. MAP 105 on residual pressors, pulse pressure tight, lungs wetter, CVP high. Flow already 4.8 L. The team has been “running high for safety” since last night. The aortic valve is barely opening.

Uncorrected hypoxemia, shock, or a dead circuit progresses to pre-arrest, then a code.
