Pulmonary Hypertension — ER action cards
This chapter covers emergency management of pulmonary hypertension, focusing on recognizing the RV death spiral and critical interventions like oxygen, fluids, inotropes, and vasopressors. Mastering these concepts is crucial for board exams due to the high mortality associated with RV failure.
About these Pulmonary Hypertension action cards
These 1 infographic condense Pulmonary Hypertension into the decisions examiners expect in the first minutes: recognition, immediate stabilisation, key investigations, first-line drugs with doses, and disposition. They are built for fast revision before emergency medicine board exams such as ABEM, MRCEM, the Saudi Board, the Arab Board and the Egyptian Board.
Use them as a last-minute checklist, then go deeper in the full Pulmonary Hypertension topic, which adds an English and Arabic podcast with live captions, a structured summary, a mind map, board-style MCQs with explanations and an interactive case simulation.
