So the major body systems are the ones that will kill you in minutes rather than hours or days. These are the Cardiovascular, Respiratory and Neurological systems. This week we will talk about the PE parameters we use in our initial MBS assessment. The aim here is to examine the parameters that will give us the most important information as quickly as possible. Over the coming weeks we will cover each system in more detail whereas this week we will focus on what the normal findings are. You have to be able to recognise normal to be able to recognise abnormal.
