Which parameter is the best to differentiate cardiac tamponade from tension pneumothorax?
Option A - Raised JVP is seen in both. Option B - Absent breath sound in tension pneumothorax Option C - Raised hea rate is a non-specific finding. Option D - both are example of obstructive shock, so IV fluid will not work.

Breath sounds
Raised Hea rate
Not improving after initial fluid resuscitation
