The decision for referral and admission should depend
on
the Total Assessment:
1. Symptoms :
• Warning signs

At 12:35pm, the patient was transferred to
Hospital A (as requested by the family because
one of their family member worked at Hospital A

not accepted because no bed available
Case was sent to General Hospital

Q6.
Explain why Hb and HCT in this patient
was not as low as expected.
Comment on the use of dopamine at this stage.
Answers Q6


Hb and HCT were relatively high (inappropriate)
considering patient had GIT bleed.
Her high HCT was due to hemoconcentration as a
result of plasma leakage during this critical phase.
It was expected that Hb and HCT would drop once IV
fluid therapy being given and hemoconcentration
improved.
The use of inotropic/vasopressor support at this stage
( when the patient is still hypovolaemic) may further
worsen the tissue hypoxia, due to vasoconstriction effect
of the dopamine.
Q7: Do you agree with the fluid
therapy and platelet transfusion?
Answers Q7

The IV fluid regime was inadequate. IV fluid
therapy should be initiated with resuscitation
regime as patient was in shock.
Resuscitation rate : 10-20ml/kg fast with
crystalloid for the first 2 cycles then colloid if
hemodynamically not improved.
Meanwhile packed cell should be made
available as patient was bleeding. Other
blood products such as platelet and FFP may
be given

Q8 : What would you do now?
Answers Q8
• Fluid resuscitation was inadequate as evidenced by
persistently raised HCT and severe metabolic acidosis.
• The patient had ongoing plasma leakage with pleural
effusion and further fluid resuscitation would most likely
lead to worsening of respiratory function so intubation was
indicated.
• The patient should have been referred to intensive care unit
for consideration of ICU admission.
• Early recognition and treatment of shock is essential
• Management of DSS is a medical emergency and
requires prompt and adequate fluid replacement
• Early and effective replacement of plasma losses
results in a favorable outcome, so consider early referral
to ICU
• Severe metabolic acidosis is a sign of prolonged shock
and tissue hypoxia
• In general, respiratory support should be considered early
in a patient’s course of illness and should not be delayed
until the need arises.
Treatment:
IV lasix 40mg stat
IV cocktail stat & 50ml NaHCO3
Reduce IV drip to 4pints/24 hours
Insulin infusion 3u/hr
CVP attempted x 2 but failed
Q9 : Would you have attempted central line
insertion ?
Answer Q9
• Volume resuscitation does not require a central venous
catherisation (CVC) if sufficient peripheral intravenous
access can be obtained.
• When CVC is indicated it should be inserted by a
skilled operator, preferably under ultrasound guidance
if available.
• Subclavian vein cannulation should be avoided as far
as possible.
