Which parameter is the best to differentiate cardiac tamponade from tension pneumothorax?: (A) Raised JVP, (B) Breath sounds, (C) Raised Hea rate, (D) Not improving after initial fluid resuscitation
Answer is B. Option A - Raised JVP is seen in both. Option B - Absent breath sound in tension pneumothorax Option C - Raised hea rate is a non-specific finding. Option D - both are example of obstructive shock, so IV fluid will not work.
