Take Home Points
In patients with APE, give high-dose nitro to decrease after load and preload quickly. 400-500 mcg/min for the first 4-5 minutes is my standard approach
Consider DSI to facilitate pre-oxygenation. Ketamine is your go to drug here
A NCHCT performed within 6 hours of symptom onset is extremely sensitive for ruling out SAH but, nothing is 100%. If you’ve got a high-risk patient, you should still consider LP
Patients with caustic ingestions can have rapidly deteriorating airways. Prepare early and be ready to take over the airway at a moments notice
