It is 0800hrs.

Elliot, a 67-year-old Aboriginal man, came in yesterday with chest pain. ECG revealed acute

ST-segment elevation (in leads V2-V6) myocardial infarction (STEMI). Elliot was transferred from the emergency department to the Cath lab for an urgent angiogram and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as he was at risk of cardiogenic shock.

Day 1 post-PCI, Elliot has an elevated Troponin (53 ng/L as of 0600 today). He feels tired today and is sitting out of bed as he states that it improves his breathing. Elliot had a restless night, and at 0200hrs, began to desaturate (SpO2 92% RA). Subsequently, he was commenced on oxygen at 6l/min via Hudson mask. He removed the oxygen in the morning as he found the mask uncomfortable. His medical past history includes Hyperlipidemia, T2DM, and he smokes one packet of cigarettes in two days. He weighs 130kg, and his height is 140cm. After your initial safety check, you take his vital signs.

Temperature 37.5C (from 36.8)
