  • Title: Drowning and Therapeutic Hypothermia: Dead Man Walking
    Title: Drowning and Therapeutic Hypothermia: Dead Man Walking Author(s): Angela Kavenaugh, D.O., Jamie Cohen, D.O., Jennifer Davis MD FAAP, Department of PICU Affiliation(s): Chris Evert Children’s Hospital, Broward Health Medical Center ABSTRACT BODY: Background: Drowning is the second leading cause of death in children and is associated with severe morbidity and mortality, most often due to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Those that survive are often left with debilitating neurological deficits. Therapeutic Hypothermia after resuscitation from ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia induced cardiac arrest is the standard of care in adults and has also been proven to have beneficial effects that persist into early childhood when utilized in neonatal birth asphyxia, but has yet to be accepted into practice for pediatrics. Objective: To present supportive evidence that Therapeutic Hypothermia improves mortality and morbidity specifically for pediatric post drowning patients. Case Report: A five year old male presented to the Emergency Department after pool submersion of unknown duration. He was found to have asphyxial cardiac arrest and received bystander CPR, which was continued by EMS for a total of 10 minutes, including 2 doses of epinephrine. CPR continued into the emergency department. Upon presentation to the ED, he was found to have fixed and dilated pupils, unresponsiveness, with a GCS of 3. Upon initial pulse check was found to have return of spontaneous circulation, with sinus tachycardia. His blood gas revealed 6.86/45/477/8/-25. He was intubated, given 2 normal saline boluses and 2 mEq/kg of Sodium Bicarbonate. The initial head CT was normal.

  • The Use of Hydrofera Blue™ on a Chemical Burn By
    Case Study: The Use of Hydrofera Blue™ on a Chemical Burn by Cyhalothrin Jeanne Alvarez, FNP, CWS Independent Medical Associates, Bangor, ME History of Present Illness/Injury: This 70 year old white male was spraying a product containing cyhalothrin (Hot Shot Home Insect Control) overhead to kill spiders. Some of the product dripped and came in contact with his skin in five locations on his upper right arm and hand. He states he washed his arm and hand with copious amounts of soap and water right after the contact of the product on his skin. He presented to the office for evaluation four days after the incidence complaining of burning pain, paresthesia and blistering at the sites. A colleague initially saw this patient and contacted poison control who provided information regarding the procedure for decontamination and monitoring. Prolonged exposure can cause symptoms similar to frostbite. Paresthesia related to dermal exposure is reported but there was no available guidance for treatment options for the blistered areas and/or treatment options for the paresthesia given. Washing the contact area with soap and water was indicated by the guidelines. Past Medical History: This patient has a significant history of hypertension. Medications/Allergies: This patient takes Norvasc 10mg daily. He has used Tylenol 1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain without significant improvement in his pain level. He has no known allergies. Treatments: Day 4 (after exposure): The patient presented for evaluation after a dermal chemical exposure complaining of burning pain, blisters and paresthesia. He had washed the area after exposure with soap and water and had applied a triple antibiotic ointment.

  • Accident, First Aid and Medical Conditions Policy
    Accident, First Aid and Medical Conditions Policy Many children and staff will at some time become unwell at school, have a condition that requires medication or have an accident that requires First Aid. Our school is an inclusive community that supports the pupils to be healthy, stay safe and be prepared for moving onto their next school. This policy outlines the procedure concerning : 1. Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences 2. First Aid Procedures 3. The Administration of Medicines 4. Supporting pupils with medical conditions 1. Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR) require that employers report all fatal and specified major injuries, any injuries that result in the inability of an employee to work more than 3 days, or any injury which results in a person being admitted to hospital for more than 24 hours. The regulations relate to any employee or other person within the school or engaged upon an activity arranged by the school. Under the requirements of the Regulations, where someone dies or suffers a specified major injury or condition, or there is a dangerous occurrence, as defined in the Regulations, the school has to notify the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) immediately by the quickest practicable means. In practice, compliance with either of these provisions will normally mean a telephone call to the Incident Contact Centre (ICC) on 0845-300-9923 during normal office hours. The ICC operator will complete a report form over the phone and a copy will be sent to the school.
