Oh, there you are!

14 June 2010

The day that followed.

30M - Hypo (1.1 BGL)! We are now authorised to use IV 10% Glucose for pt that are not able to take oral glucose. This was the first one for either my partner or myself. Worked a treat, pt recovered and was able to eat to increase and sustain his BGL and stay at home under the CARe program.

41F - Anaphylaxis, wide spread urticaria and a huge tongue. First shot of adrenaline worked great but we gave another at hospital as the symptoms were returning. Still it was really nice to have a real anaphylaxis to treat.

29F - Known epileptic, witnessed seizure, has had it for about ten years, well medicated and compliant with them, usual to have a seizure every three months which was about now, no current illness nothing unusual and her mum was coming to pick her up. Did CARe on her to.

66F - SOB, combination of IHD and emphysema.

77M - Pre syncope, rigors, clammy, pale, hypotensive, epigastric pain. I reckon a belly bug.

95F - Transfer a pt from the really busy big hospital to the quiet smaller hospital.

95F Cardiac Arrest, good CPR on our arrival but,,,,, 95yrs???? we gave two minutes of compressions and then diagnosed PEA (pulse-less electrical activity) or EDM (electromechanical dissociation).

523/71 = 7.37


See you at the Big One and you be careful out there.
