Garry, Way to take control, brother! You are going to win this one. Ignore the pathologist and heme/onc for now. Watch fluid balance, lytes, and chf which you can prevent. Watch out for florid DIC. Let pulmonology do the vent settings for her ARDS but you call the shots on fluids, blood/components, (I still think she needs a few units of whole blood) Your original question -- what's causing the pancytopenia--still gets the same answer: it's the overwhelming sepsis; but NOW you have control of that. It's all in the details now. Press on. Cal

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
