Vasopressor agents are required to provide or preserve organ perfusion in patients with life threatening hypotension such as cardiogenic shock and in patients when cardiac output can not be recovered and appropriate SBP level (>90 mm Hg) cannot be achieved by inotropic agents and/or fluid treatment. However, their use should be restricted with the minimum possible dose and shortest time as cardiac afterload will increase due to increased peripheral vascular resistance and accordingly organ perfusion will decrease by vasopressor agents. Serious arrhythmias, worsening of renal function and myocardial ischemia can be observed during management.

Medical diagnosis (abbreviated Dx,[1] Dx, or Ds) is the process of determining which disease or condition explains a person's symptoms and signs. It is most often referred to as diagnosis with the medical context being implicit. The information required for diagnosis is typically collected from a history and physical examination of the person seeking medical care. Often, one or more diagnostic procedures, such as medical tests, are also done during the process. Sometimes the posthumous diagnosis is considered a kind of medical diagnosis.

A diagnosis, in the sense of diagnostic procedure, can be regarded as an attempt at classification of an individual's condition into separate and distinct categories that allow medical decisions about treatment and prognosis to be made. Subsequently, a diagnostic opinion is often described in terms of a disease or other condition. (In the case of a wrong diagnosis, however, the individual's actual disease or condition is not the same as the individual's diagnosis.)

The method of differential diagnosis is based on finding as many candidate diseases or conditions as possible that can possibly cause the signs or symptoms, followed by a process of elimination or at least of rendering the entries more or less probable by further medical tests and other processing, aiming to reach the point where only one candidate disease or condition remains as probable. The result may also remain a list of possible conditions, ranked in order of probability or severity. Such a list is often generated by computer-aided diagnosis systems.[4]

Unless the provider is certain of the condition present, further medical tests, such as medical imaging, are performed or scheduled in part to confirm or disprove the diagnosis but also to document the patient's status and keep the patient's medical history up to date.

Diagnosis can take many forms.[20] It might be a matter of naming the disease, lesion, dysfunction or disability. It might be a management-naming or prognosis-naming exercise. It may indicate either degree of abnormality on a continuum or kind of abnormality in a classification. It is influenced by non-medical factors such as power, ethics and financial incentives for patient or doctor. It can be a brief summation or an extensive formulation, even taking the form of a story or metaphor. It might be a means of communication such as a computer code through which it triggers payment, prescription, notification, information or advice. It might be pathogenic or salutogenic. It is generally uncertain and provisional.

Individuals with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders may be under-counted in prevalence estimation studies. These individuals may be under-represented in household surveys because they may reside in prisons, other institutions, or may lack a permanent address. Similarly, some people with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders may not be fully reflected in medical records data because they may not have a documented diagnosis, and/or may receive little or no health care.

THIS CHAPTER is based on practical clinical experience of the author in the management of sexually transmitted diseases since 1969 in the United Kingdom (UK). In the UK, genitourinary medicine (sexually transmitted infections [STI] covers human immunodeficiency virus/ acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) as well as does sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It is a separate specialty and requires very considerable postgraduate study in all aspects of sexual health. Although emergencies in the acute internal or medical sense are rare, rapid and astute clinical management of many of the conditions encountered is necessary. 17dc91bb1f
