GARCIA GóMEZ, Carlos; RODRIGUEZ AMADOR, Laidamí y RODRIGUEZ MORALES, Osvaldo. Diagnostic Considerations on "Low Profile" Medical Emergencies. Medisur [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp. 154-158. ISSN 1727-897X.
The present article has as a reference the complex scenario on the hospital emergency service. It is aimed at showing some elements which contribute to increase doctors´ risk perception on certain forms of presentation of entities which are really medical emergencies. Most patients who suffer from them are not identified as severely ill at the moment of arriving to the emergency service. These emergencies are called by authors as "low profile" and absence of alarming variables such as acute pain, trauma, dyspnea, visible paralysis, among others are common. As final considerations, practical suggestions related to the issue under discussion are provided.
