Case Summary:
A 60 year old woman presents to the ED after a syncopal episode. She has a history of breast cancer. She is tachycardic and hypotensive. Learners are expected to work through their DDx for shock. This case is designed to allow learners to practice using the RUSH protocol for undifferentiated shock, and has a selection of ultrasound images. Learners can make the diagnosis of PE using these US findings. She becomes progressively unstable and ultimately arrests, requiring lysis.
