ADDRESSING THE RISK ▪ Immediately rule out conditions whose treatment will most imminently avert death: ▴ Tension pneumothorax ▴ Arrhythmia with hemodynamic instability ▪ Tension pneumothorax-blood pressure measurement and chest X-ray (see chapter on Chest X-ray) immediate electrical cardioversion. ▪ If patient is not coding, general measures to be undertaken initially include ▴ Oxygen-try to ensure oxygen saturation of at least 90%. ▴ Venous access-make sure patient has a large-bore access for eventual fluid resuscitation.
