Since so many conditions on the PANCE blueprint could be considered an emergency and warrant an ED visit, I thought I would tackle more of an approach to a chief complaint…since EM providers are the masters of the undifferentiated patient. For this episode, I will discuss the acutely dyspneic patient and how you can systematically approach these sometimes tenuous patients to rule-in/rule-out life-threatening conditions by history, physical exam, and ancillary studies.
