Guest guest Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Start with checking vitals with temp, c-spine precaution if necessary, move to unit and possibly start cooling procedures depending on temp. O2, IV, Midazolam (Versed) 0.05-0.1 mg/kg slow IV, If seizures stops and pt is nauseas give Ondansetron ( Zofran) 0.1 mg/kg. It is possible with the temperatures outside that she is having a febrile seizure, or possibly from some type of trauma caused while playing. > You're called out to a 5 year old girl who was playing in the yard, when she suddenly had a seizure.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hi Allysa: As I come to the scene,preliminaries(Gloves,safety,A general impression etc) must come first and deal with the seizure,meaning an airway,breathing,pulse,etc must be done immediatley. As a basic,get on your portable radio and get ALS help. Get this kid in load and go mode.As a paramedic, I will still deal with the situation and request additional help. I can also find out why this perfectly normal child could be having a seizure. Find out if there is an illness related to fever, any head injury, something this kid does normally that is not being done now. While in movement,this will be done with a parent to deal with the seizure. Dealing with seizure, If I find out what is abnormal and treat what I see. Airway maintenance is a top priority,as is breathing,and checking constantly for a central pulse. When I get help I should have detailed history of the event plus what I find and go from there, BASICS always come first. I will get my driving partner to get to a hospital fast and safe.                                         \                                  Regards.                                         \                           SSG.Rick " Doc " Borenstein Retired                                         \                           Combat Medical Specialist 68W30 ________________________________ To: texasems-l Sent: Mon, July 11, 2011 5:37:36 PM Subject: Mystery Diagnosis  You're called out to a 5 year old girl who was playing in the yard, when she suddenly had a seizure.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 No history of recent illness, no head injury, vitals: o2: 90% room air RR: 8, very shallow and erratic, no gag reflex HR: 158, sinus arrhythmia, strong pulse BP: 98/56 Versed stops the seizure for approximately 30 seconds, then she starts having tremors which become progressively more violent. Rectal temp is 94.6 on the first read, 95.0 on the second. (It's a hot summer day in Houston, TX.)

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 The parents are rather vague about the events leading up to the seizure. They were moving and just unpacking and she was playing in the backyard, being a normal kid. They didn't think anything was wrong until they looked up and she was seizing.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Nothing but pristine, perfectly cut grass (remember, they just moved in) and a koi pond. The parents say they can't think of anything that she might have consumed while they were unpacking, especially not anything that they wouldn't have noticed.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 No rash; the only other imperfection you find is a very small abrasion to her chin.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 No plants; just grass and a koi pond. You find no evidence of an insect sting; no redness or swelling, apart from the one swollen r lymph node on her upper thigh (right in the femoral area).
