Normal [CBC], on CXR some mild CHF, no infiltrates, 1d prior [U/A] was normal, Afebrile. But just in case anyway I gave her Tobra, Maxipime, Metronidazole.Originally Posted by FOLEY

in any case...everything can be normal (cbc, duff, ua, etc) and the patient could still be septic

To cover anaerobs for possible aspiration (if on portable CXR infiltrates are not seen)Originally Posted by FOLEY

well...you've got three top candidates (sepsis, cerebral edema and bleeding retroperitoneally).Originally Posted by Donat
what goes against cerebral edema is the fact that her MS didn't change...or did it? was there an appropriate HR increase?

There is a h/o prior 5 ischemic CVA's, dementia, A-fib, CHF, s/p MI ....Originally Posted by FOLEY
MS did not change since admission... Just the same left gaze, no response to any stimuli.
Retroperitoneal bleed would be the last one on my list, but you never know. It's just guessing now.
Agree that septic shock is the most common cause of hypotension in ICU.
