Out of the woods

Teddy is fine. Today's new world is Tamponade. Is is what happens when the pressure outside your heart keeps it from beating and causes your blood pressure to drop. In Teddy's case this was caused by his atrial line that was used to deliver medicine coming out of his heart. When they added medicine, it increased the pressure outside his heart and dropped his blood pressure. So to increase his pressure, they gave him more medicine. This increased pressure outside his heart, which dropped his blood pressure. You can see where this is going. Dr. G looked the the echo and found the problem. So now, they won't use that line. And Teddy is fine.
