You have one ER without so much as a dedicated pediatrician which is about 5-10

min northwest, and one which is a dedicated children's hospital 30-40 minutes in

the opposite direction. The two closest flight teams are out on other calls, and

consequently their ETA is worse than yours.

No history, no allergies, no medications, pt was playing in the yard (no

apparent threats)

First vitals:

o2: 90% room air

RR: 8, very shallow and erratic, no gag reflex

HR: 158, sinus arrhythmia, strong pulse

BP: 98/56

Second vitals:

o2: 96% on 15 LPM NRB

RR: 6, very shallow and erratic, no gag reflex

HR: 164, sinus arrhythmia, strong pulse

BP: 94/52

Pupils are dilated and extremely sluggish, if that.

Body temperature is 95 degrees farenheit, even with aggressive warming -- ie,

all the blankets on your ambulance and heat packs and your ambulance heater is

on (in the middle of summer).

Versed and Ativan have been able to stop the seizures for 30 seconds - 1 minute.

Find out what plant she possibly ingested. Begin your normal treatment for

siezure until you know more.

Mystery Diagnosis

You're called out to a 5 year old girl who was playing in the yard, when she

suddenly had a seizure. When you arrive on scene her parents instantly calm down

and tell you she has no history, no medications, and no known allergies. Your

patient is having a grand mal seizure which has been going on for at least 5

minutes.

What's your treatment and what's happening to her?

She did not ingest a plant. Benzo's and phenobarbital stop her seizures for 30

seconds - 1 minute, paralytics for a few minutes.

High-dose phenobarbital drip calms her seizures for the duration of the drip

only, the node is visibly swollen. You don't see or feel any other swollen lymph

nodes. No s/s of anemia.

Pupils equal but very sluggish if responsive at all and dilated.

Negative babinski; she's not alert enough to follow instructions, both before

and after sedation/RSI.
