Emedinews:Makesure: Sir, he collapsed after sublingual nifedipine was given


Situation: Sir, he collapsed after sublingual nifedipine was given
Reaction: Oh, my God! I forgot to check for LVOT obstruction
Lesson: Make sure that the patient does not have LVOT obstruction (left ventricular outflow tract) before giving sublingual nifedipine.
