3) neck veins examination: engorged
JVP raised upto bifurcation of carotid.
heart examination:
- inspection:
shape-normal
apical impulse at 5th intercostal space in midclavicular line.

Based on the above findings, following investigations were sent
1) CBP
2) CUE
3) URINE culture and sensitivity
4) HIV, HBV, anti HCV
5) RFT
6) ESR
7) CXR- PA view(bedside)
8) ABG
9) 2d ECHO
10) ECGDIAGNOSIS:
Decompensated right heart failure secondary to mild pulmonary artery hypertension. Anuria secondary to ? Bladder outlet obstruction. ? Ishaemic hepatitis. ? Cystitis. With hyperkalemia. ? Cardiorenal syndrome. With post renal AKI. With cardiogenic shock.
TREATMENT:
1) foleys catheterisation
2) salt(<2g /day) and fluid( 1.5 lts /day) restriction
3) head end elevation
4) oxygenation to maintain SpO2 > 95%
5) Inj. lasix 20mg bd if sbp> 110mmhg
6) Inj. noradrenaline 2 amp in 50 ml NS iv at 2ml/hr.

5) Inj. lasix 20mg bd if sbp> 110mmhg
6) Inj. noradrenaline 2 amp in 50 ml NS iv at 2ml/hr.
Patient was being monitored continuously for 14-15hrs , during which pt condition was worsened( GCS <7 , no carotid pulse) so cpr of 5 cycles done ,then pulse was restored. Pt was intubated due to falling saturation and low GCS (<3)
In some time , again the pt condition was worsened due to ventricular tachycardia so shock at 300j was given
7) infusion amiodarone
8) Inj. zofer 4mg iv tid
9) Inj. pantop 40mg iv bd
10) Tab. nodosis 500 mg p/o bd
11) syrup sucralfate 15ml p/o tid
12) syrup lactulose 15ml h/s
13) I/O charting and bp monitoring
8) Inj. zofer 4mg iv tid
9) Inj. pantop 40mg iv bd
10) Tab. nodosis 500 mg p/o bd
11) syrup sucralfate 15ml p/o tid
12) syrup lactulose 15ml h/s
13) I/O charting and bp monitoring
14) inj. Tramadol 1 amp diluted in 20ml NS slow I/v over 5 mins sos
15) neb. Salbutamol 4 respules tid
16) I/v DNS 250ml with 6 units INSULIN i/v stat
