Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) on POCUS
Still not sure about intra-arrest POCUS? Here is "just another code." Woman with HTN, DM found down by husband. No trauma. PEA arrest. No ROSC. Now in ED.
Scan mid abdomen. Find this. Thinking now AAA. POCUS done with CPR in progress.
Plan changed. Massive transfusion protocol. Get weak pulses. BP-70's. 7.7 cm AAA. Taken emergently to OR. POCUS a GameChanger here!
