ECG: Evaluate for ischemia, right heart strain. Fluid management Goal is euvolemia Dehydration – needs IV fluid resuscitation. Overestimates arterial oxygen saturation. Up to 3x less accurate in black patients. When the clinical picture does not match the SpO 2 , get an ABG. Use a co-oximeter to measure different types of Hb.
