pKip is 65. He is brought to the ER bc he almost fainted when he
stood up. He says he has felt tired and weak 4 the last few days.
He is short of breath but attributes this symptom to his chronic
bronchitis. he has smoked for 25 yrs When Kip gets to the ER, his
bp is 10070 and his pulse is 110 bpm while lying down. His bp is
9070 while sitting and his pulse is 115 bpm. On palpation, he has
mild epigastric tenderness and his stool guaiac test is positive
for blood. A stat HctHb is performed amp the results are Hct33,
Hb10 gdl. He is given IV fluids and oxygen and his bloog is sent
for typing and crossmatch testing. A tube is inserted into Kips
stomachsuction reveals the stomach contains blackbrown material
looking like coffee grounds. A guaiac test on the material is
positive for blood. Its flushed wwater and the suctionfluid clears.
Acis inhibitors are given intravenously and Kip is given antacids
orally. A gastroenterology consult is requested w diagnostic
andpotentially therapeutic endoscopy planned. During the
administration of IV fluids, Kips bp stabilizes at 12070, and his
pulse slows to 90 bpm. A 2nd blood test reveals a hematocrit of 29
and a hemoglobin concentration of 9 gdl. Kip feels more comfortable
and breathing is easier he is transfered from the ER to ICU for
further observation. 1 hour later, his Hct30 and his Hb9.1. While
talking w his family, he suddenly experiences anterior chest pain
that radiates into his neck and left shoulder, wit hcold sweats and
shortness of breath. Nitroglycerin and antiacidshave no effect. His
bp falls, and IV fluids, blood transfusion, and further medication
cannot stop trend. 4 hours after the 1st chest pain, Kip dies, and
resuscitation attempts prove futile. Plz tell me anything you can
about this...Why did he die Did something go wrong Why would u use
water What about the inhibitors Plz try to be specific. I need an
answer ASAP. I have an idea as to what is wrong. this is a fake
sit.p
