General management for emergency cases (ONCALL): If pt is hypotensive;
1. Always repeat BP manually.
2. Check for pt's hydration, any sign of intravascular volume loss - GI loss, bleeding.
3. If suspected cardiac probs, do ECG (ix).
4. Some MO allow for HO to order fluid resus/challenge first (run 1 pint of NS/Hartmann), some MO need HO to inform first.
