How do you assess and manage an acute exacerbation of COPD presenting with confusion and SpO2 of 84%?
You are the medical registrar called to review a 28-year-old with worsening asthma. Talk us through your assessment and management.
What are the features of life-threatening asthma, and why is a normal CO2 concerning?
A 72-year-old with known COPD is drowsy and breathless. ABG on 28% O2: pH 7.28, PaCO2 8.5, PaO2 7.2. Manage this patient.
After one hour on NIV the patient's pH is 7.26. How do you proceed?
What are the contraindications to NIV?
Invasive ventilation is not appropriate and the patient is deteriorating. How would you manage them now?
How would you manage suspected SVC obstruction?
A patient on the respiratory ward coughs up >250ml of blood. Manage.
