Is it possible for a patient to have a pulse rate of 178? That seems really high and doesn't help when the doc is mumbling, but that is what she says.
As a background, the pnt is 66 years old and is in for chest tightness and difficulty breathing and has had sob for 3 days.
178 seems high, but unsure if its okay
