dahlio Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Whoa, Spenac, both of our posts were at 4:01, you must have beaten me by a couple of seconds.
emt322632 Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Also let's get a BGL, O2, IV, monitor....has she been seeing an OB/GYN during her pregnancy, if so have they told her of any potential complications? Any family hx of pregnancy complications? What pregnancy is this for her?
spenac Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Whoa, Spenac, both of our posts were at 4:01, you must have beaten me by a couple of seconds. Maybe even 59 seconds. :wink:

MedicNorth Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Still want to know about PMS, grip, to rule out stroke
emt322632 Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Is she normally hypertensive? Any visual disturbances with the headache? I'm thinking pre-eclampsia here...not a good thing. Any history of pre-eclampsia during pregnancy in her family?
hammerpcp Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 Equal grip strength. Only medical history is cholecystitis 2 years ago. No prenatal care.
dahlio Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Just thought of this, Does the patient have an urge to push? What is CBG? I'm a :sign2:
hammerpcp Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 CBG is still 2.5 mmol/L. Pt goes into seizure.
medibrat Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 First line of treatment: O2, then large bore IV, NS, D50 25g...(before she had the seizure of course). If I miss it, slam the 1cc glucagon. What's her ecg show? Brat :angel8: ps. is there family around? does she have history of seizures?
