Approach to undifferentiated dyspnea in emergency department
Keywords:
dyspnea, emergency, cardiopulmonary USGAbstract
Studied cases with acute dyspnea may benefit from quick diagnosis & effective treatment that can save their lives. Emergency patient's history, physical examination, chest radiography, 12-lead electrocardiography, & measurement of brain natriuretic peptide or N-terminal pro-BNP are all techniques for evaluating studied cases who may have acute decompensated heart failure. Chest USG has attracted interest recently since it can be used to diagnose acute respiratory failure in intensive care units. Both cardiac & non-cardiac causes were present in sizable portion of studied cases (twenty eight percent) who presented with dyspnea. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct thorough investigations for all principal reasons for dyspnea in every studied case because a large proportion of patients may have various diseases processes that are accountable for their symptoms.
