so this basically is 56 yo african american female that develops dysuria and back pain. she has 39.2º 70/40 mmHg and 130 bpm respirations 26. she is confused and her skin is warm to touch. over the next few hours she becomes hypoxic. which of the following lung findings is she most likely to develop:
a. wedge shaped areas of hemorrhagic necrosis
b. fluid accumulation in the alveolar spaces
I picked choice A because I thought about DIC, since she is in sepsis she can also develop pulmonary embolism but the right answer is b, ARDS of course. why do you think choice B is right? for DIC and embolism I should have PT, PTT and BT?
