Good afternoon.
00:01
This is Frederick County, ALS 30, en route to your facility with a priority pediatric seizure patient.
00:08
How do you copy so far?
00:11
Copy good to you.
00:14
I have a 13-year-old female patient initially dispatched for an allergic reaction, arrived on scene, found the patient alert and oriented times four with a patent airway.
00:25
She has swelling around the face,
00:29
itching in the throat and mouth.
00:31
Lung sounds were clear bilaterally.
00:32
She was given 25 milligrams of Benadryl, orally,
00:36
by family members prior to my arrival. The patient was recently at your facility diagnosed with non-epileptic seizures and within my presence has now had three short, lasting seizures, approximately 30 to 45 seconds in duration,
00:50
with brief moments of consciousness between each episode.
00:53
I'm calling in regards to orders for 5 milligrams of versed prior to my arrival.
01:00
I have approximately a 15-minute ETA to your facility.
01:04
Can I have some recommendations going forward?
01:09
Doctor, sorry,
01:13
has the patient been vitalized and stable during these episodes and protecting her airway?
01:21
Her vital signs have been stable.
01:23
She is protecting her own airway.
01:25
We currently have her on capnography.
01:26
She is breathing about 25 times a minute with an EtCO2 of 32.
01:30
Her blood pressure is 123 over 81.
01:33
Her blood sugar is 121.
01:35
She is standing at 100 percent on room air with a heart rate of 93 with a sinus rhythm on the monitor.
01:43
And in terms of, like, not a status like,
01:46
after these brief seizure events, does she come back to baseline?
01:50
Is she pretty, are they out of it? How do you categorize that?
01:57
In between these seizures, she will look at me, but is not responding to verbal stimuli from myself or her sister.
02:06
She has done some repetitive movements in her right and left hand, but in terms of holding a conversation, she has not returned to baseline.
02:14
I mean, if she was recently diagnosed with,
02:18
non-epileptic seizures, I don't know if she is not coming back to baseline, I think if you feel like her airway is an issue or she has recurrent seizures, I do think it is reasonable if you want to do...
02:34
That's fine.
02:36
I think if she is a small person, you could probably give less, like 2 milligrams of IV versed.
02:45
Okay, confirming 2 milligrams of versed IV, I have a 22-gauge established.
02:50
Given the patient's presentation, I'm going ahead with those orders if you are okay with that.
02:56
I think that's fine.
02:59
Yeah.
03:02
All right, thank you, Frederick.
03:04
This is ALS 30.
03:05
We'll be into your facility in about 10 minutes.
03:07
Appreciate the consult.
03:08
Thank you, thank you.
03:10
All clear.
03:11
Please consult if needed.
