Copy,
00:07
we're inbound your facility about a 10-minute ETA with an (number withheld) male.
00:12
Patient was in daycare on the base and was apparently bitten or stung behind the right ear by an unknown insect.
00:21
Nobody on the staff there could say exactly what it was.
00:25
They notified mom right away.
00:27
She reported to the facility and called EMS.
00:31
When we arrived, we encountered.
00:32
A conscious, alert, and fully oriented eighteen-month-old reacting with everyone around him.
00:40
He is breathing normally.
00:42
Lung fields are clear bilaterally.
00:44
The only issue that we noted was hives in the axilla and groin and around the neck, and some slight swelling behind the right ear where he was bitten.
00:54
He was initially scratching at the aforementioned areas.
00:58
Mom says he doesn't have any past medical history.
01:01
History, current meds, or allergies other than the event that has just occurred.
01:07
Our assessment revealed the afore mentioned perfectly normal reacting patient.
01:14
He has been receptive to anything that we've wanted to do so far.
01:18
We have a heart rate of about 140 , respiratory rate of about 30 , and like I said before, his lungs are clear bilaterally.
01:27
We did give him.
01:29
0.27 mL Benadryl IM at ten forty-five, and the hives have already started to abate.
01:39
We don't anticipate any further fly at that time if that's necessary.
01:46
What's your priority for this patient?
01:49
