A young footballer has collapsed during a game. During initial evaluation: RR=14/min,
pulse=88bpm, BP=110/70mmHg. He seems to be sweating and muttering some
incomprehensible words. What is the most imp next step?
a. CT
b. MRI
c. Blood sugar
d. Body temp
e. IV fluids
Ans. The key is C. Blood sugar. [Normal vital signs, sweating and collapse during exercise gives suspicion
of hypoglycemia which is very easy to treat but fatal if left unrecognized. So most important next step is
to check the blood sugar].
