Best Case Ever 13: David Carr on Vascular Catastrophes
In anticipation of Episode 28 on Vascular Catastrophes Pearls & Pitfalls, with Dr. Anil Chopra & David Carr, the authors of Tintinalli’s chapter on occlusive arterial disease, Dr. Carr tells us his Best Case Ever.
In the upcoming episode we discuss the breadth of presentations and key diagnostic clues of Aortic Dissection. We review the value of ECG, CXR, biomarkers and the use of Transesophageal Echo and CTA in this sometime elusive diagnosis. We debate lots of clinical pearls and pitfalls when it comes to acute limb ischemia, and end with a discussion on the trials and tribulations of Compartment Syndrome.
