Re: Re: Re: Re: Squeeze
by Reynolds
Now I'm home and can write a proper response. The kid was still fitting when I got in the room, with ineffectual breaths. Gave the PR Diazepam (incidentally the first bum in some time that I didn't have to delve around with first) - kid kept fitting. Actually the fitting became worse. So that's why we scooped and ran to the hospital (that and the whole 'not breathing terribly well, O2 sats of 85%, tolerating a Guedel airway...) Bagging him brought him back up to 100% o2 sats despite the fitting. It took a whole load of sedation in A&E to arrest his seizure. When it came to write it up, I didn't really want to go into the technical details (maybe the next one I will), instead I wanted to do the 'beat' style - Each squeeze of the bag terminating a very short sentence or two, it mixes things up a bit from the 'I did this, then I did this, the patient did this so I did this' sort of blogpost. Didn't know you folks got midazalam though, I bet that works better than diazepam.
