Dustdevil Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 How long has SAMPLE been around now? I dunno, but it's too long. I have to admit I have enjoyed the visual of Anthony squatting next to the patient holding a stool sample bowl.

brock8024 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Posted November 4, 2007 Avian flu. I'm outtie! How is abdomen on palpation? What did his 'stomach' flu consist of? Cough? Pain anywhere? Soreness? Photosensitivity? Sore Throat? Fever (or is this new onset)? Diarrhea? Vomiting? Eating/Drinking? Any semi-recent injuries? He has some withdrawal from pain on his abd. His bowel sounds are hyperactive. He has had NVD. He has had the fever for a few days and has been taking OTC meds for that. he has been eating less and less.
brock8024 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Posted November 4, 2007 He has an infection! Lung sounds? cough? sputum? diarrhea? Aspiration pneumonia for 100 Alex. What is meningitis? maybe SARS. Probably septic. Peritonitis? Oh! Rabies! Does he have any hx? Start some NS anyway. Does he need ventilatory support? He has not been bitten by any animals. Umm mother states that he was acting funny last night. He is normally nice and calm but last night before bed he seemed moody and did not want to be touched. he is breathing has increased to 36-40 and labored.
brock8024 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Posted November 4, 2007 Oh and how does his condition change after O2. I'm to decide what to do with airway/breathing. Would 12-lead (enroute) be too much? I'm just thinking that b/c obviously not perfusing well. I'd start loading now. He is still not perfusing well. 12 lead shows sinus tach
brock8024 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Posted November 4, 2007 Any family history? None his mom and dad figured everyone woudl be comeing down sick with the flu.
