Severe hypoxaemia with a normal PaCO2 is exactly the sort of blood gas that invites the wrong conclusion. This episode makes the physiology usable at the bedside and explains why a rising PaCO2 in pulmonary fibrosis or pneumonia should redirect attention to alveolar ventilation and ventilatory fatigue.
Graves’ disease is a useful reminder that antibodies can stimulate rather than destroy. For clinical learning and revision, link thyrotoxicosis with eye signs and neck swelling early, because orbitopathy reflects receptor activity in orbital fibroblasts, not simply high hormone levels.
Best place to start if new atrial fibrillation is part of your usual work. When the rate feels out of proportion, confirm the rhythm, add TSH and free T4 early, and think about thyroid storm or levothyroxine over-replacement before the case drifts into routine rate control.
