The Kilifi algorithm includes five clinical situations that are common sickle cell presentations – clinical jaundice, severe anaemia, bone and joint infections, and stroke. Infections, fever, acidosis, hypoxia, dehydration and exposure to extreme temperatures can trigger VOC even though often no cause is identified.

Other causes of sickling: acidosis, dehydration, inflammation, infection, fever, and blood stasis Sickling leads to vascular occlusion, end-organ ischemia, and decreased RBC lifespan, which, in turn, leads to pain crisis, acute anemia, sequestration, infection, and acute chest syndrome (ACS.) Infectious: bacterial or viral pneumonia ( M.

My opinion was that it was not a cath lab case, but I did suggest they do a bedside ultrasound to look for an anterior wall motion abnormality. Notice also the very small LV cavity size at both diastole and systole (poor LV filling with good contractility) and apparent low stroke volume. I did not have more information at the time.

Her bedside cardiac ultrasound was normal We decided to cardiovert her since the time of onset was very recent. But when you see this, you should suspect that the AV node is not well. Our electrophysiologist told me that highly trained athletes can have such high vagal tone that they do not have a rapid ventricular response.

Check : [vitals, SOB, Chest Pain, Ultrasound] If the patient has Abdominal Pain, Chest Pain, Dyspnea or Hypoxemia, Headache, Hypotension , then these should be considered the primary chief complaint (not syncope). Also consider non-hemorrhagic volume depletion, dehydration : orthostatic vitals may uncover this [see Mendu et al. (3)].
