Acute CHF Patients - How Do I Help Them?
The hardest patients I find are the ones who come in cold and wet, but also in shock. They're very similar to the last patient population, but instead of having a systolic of 170 or 190, their systolic is 70 or 90. These patients are really challenging because they may not have the ability to move fluid forward due to pump malfunction. You're probably going to need to bring their blood pressure up to start with to help move fluid forward.
