Pediatric asthma exacerbations are a common cause of emergency medical services (EMS) encounters. Bronchodilators and systemic corticosteroids mainstays exacerbation therapy, yet data on the efficacy EMS administration mixed. This study's objective was to assess association between pediatric patients hospital admission rates based severity transport intervals.
Esmolol, dual sequential defibrillation, vector change and left stellate ganglion block are presented reviewed for the treatment of refractory ventricular fibrillation.Although no formal definition has been established fibrillation, literature describes it as a pulseless arrhythmia that persists despite 3 standard defibrillation attempts, administration amiodarone 300 mg intravenously, provision three 1-mg intravenous doses epinephrine. Evolving surrounding resuscitation in this particular...
In the emergency department (ED), prompt administration of systemic corticosteroids for pediatric asthma exacerbations decreases hospital admission rates. However, there is sparse evidence whether earlier by medical services (EMS) clinicians, prior to ED arrival, further improves outcomes.
Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) poses significant risks during pregnancy, particularly in patients with underlying conditions such as β-thalassemia. We present a case of 29-year-old pregnant woman history β-thalassemia minor who experienced NSVT at 27 weeks gestation. Despite initial concerns for structural heart disease, the workup was unrevealing. Challenges medication selection and risk assessment were addressed context maternal fetal well-being. This underscores importance...
Diphenhydramine (DPH), a readily available first-generation H1 receptor antihistamine, can have severe consequences when taken in excessive amounts and lead to grave outcomes such as seizures, dysrhythmias, coma, death. Recognizing the early signs symptoms of DPH toxicity is crucial. Fortunately, fatal adult cases overdose are rare. This report describes near-fatal young female who experienced recurrent respiratory failure, cardiac arrest with return spontaneous circulation (ROSC)...
There are disparities in multiple aspects of pediatric asthma care; however, prehospital care largely undescribed. This study's objective was to examine racial and geographic emergency medical services (EMS) medication administration patients with asthma.This is a substudy the Early Administration Steroids Ambulance Setting: An Observational Design Trial, which includes data from ages 2-18 years. We examined rates EMS systemic corticosteroids inhaled bronchodilators by patient race. geocoded...
Hyperkalemia is a medical emergency with potentially severe consequences that can be avoided by early recognition and effective treatment. Electrocardiogram (ECG) changes help elucidate hyperkalemia prior to obtaining lab results assist in decisions on treatment, especially the prehospital setting. ECG commonly associated are peaked T-waves, PR prolongation, P-wave flattening, QRS widening, or sine-wave pattern at severely elevated potassium levels. Bundle branch blocks (BBBs) but less...
