The patient is rotated. No effusion or pneumothorax is seen. The right lung appears grossly clear. There may be airspace disease in the left lung. IMPRESSION: Question left airspace disease. The right lung is grossly clear. The patient is rotated. Endotracheal tube appears satisfactory in this single view. CHEST XRAY BEDSIDE, Apr 28, 2010 02:52:39 PM INDICATION: Dyspnea There continue to be extensive areas of infiltrate predominately in the left upper lobe. The endotracheal tube is again noted. There has been apparent placement of an orogastric tube. The tip is located in the proximal portion of the thoracic esophagus. The right lung remains clear. IMPRESSION: 1. Presumed placement of an orogastric tube as discussed. 2. The study is otherwise unchanged from a study done earlier in the day. Reason For Initial Request: Pt Evidently, pt brought into ER on 4/28/10 for "Prolonged Seizure." Was intubated and transferred to another hospital. Currently, still intubated and determined significant hypoxia. Actions Taken Patient/Significant Other notified, MD notified Further Dialogue Received a call from resident Dr. Pt transferred from ER with Dx of meningitis. Per Dr, they think, pt had some sort of encephalopathy. Yesterday he had herniation of the cerebellar tonsils and pupils were not responding. Neurology consult was called in and an EEG done did not show any activity. After consultation with the relatives of the child it decided to withdraw life support and baby passed away last night. I appreciate Dr calling us and personally making us aware of this unfortunate incident. To Nurse PCC: kindly connect with parent/s to offer our condolence and to enquire if they need any help from us. 2 Failed attempts to reach mother at home. Reached Grma who will inform mother that we are aware and offering sympathy and assistance as needed. She does believe the list of support grief groups would be helpful and told we will mail in card to her. The Obituary will be listed tomorrow Friday, and services -12-2p 2pm Eulogy. Mother lives with son, and her father, also caregiver for pt. CDC Split Type:
Write-up: CHIEF COMPLAINT: He presents here as a 12 month old that was brought in by mother, carried in from triage to shock room 2, lethargic and listless. HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient, according to mother''s history, was exposed to several family members who have had URI symptoms over the last 24 hours and this morning he slept more than usual, walking up around 10:30 this morning, and was found to be lethargic. The patient was carried into shock room 2. Further history was not available. PAST MEDICAL HISTORY AND SURGICAL HISTORY: Negative. ALLERGIES: Negative. MEDICATIONS: Currently negative. REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: As per HPI; otherwise, all negative. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: General: The patient was lethargic, listless, and unremarkable. HEENT: His oropharynx was clear. He did not have any tongue lacerations or abrasions. He had moist mucous membranes. Neck: Supple. I did not appreciate any obvious lymphadenopathy or meningeal signs. Lungs: Clear on auscultation. He had moderate accessory muscle use with intercostal retractions. Abdomen: Soft. I did not appreciate any distention or signs of trauma. Extremities: The lower extremity exam was cold to touch. He had poor perfusion. He was mottled. Neurologic: The patient had positive nystagmus and almost exhibited tonic-clonic-like activity. EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT COURSE: Immediately, we decided to intubate this patient to maintain a definitive airway. Using a 4.5 endotracheal tube that was uncuffed, I proceeded with intubation. A peripheral IV was inserted immediately by our nurse. I used 15 mg of IV succinylcholine with a dosing determined using a weight based scale. We believed the patient was anywhere from 10 to 12 kg. Once the patient was adequately paralyzed, I was able to successfully intubate this patient. He had positive end-tidal CO2 and condensation in the tube. He had blood work including a CBC, a blood culture, and a BMET. I had the patient transferred immediately to head CT which showed evidence of chronic maxillary sinusitis with no evidence of mass effect. When the patient returned back to the emergency room into shock room 2, I proceeded with spinal tap. Given the emergency situation, we did not have a chance to consent mother who was not immediately available. We went ahead and proceeded with the procedure. I was able to successfully perform a spinal tap using his pelvic crests as my landmarks. The entire procedure was performed under sterile conditions. The back was cleaned using iodine applied in circular fashion x3. Using the pediatric LP tray, and the spinal needle that was within the tray, I used the L3-L4 interspace to access the subarachnoid space. I was able to collect 3 tubes of CSF, at least 2 mL each, and these were sent for studies including HSV, PCR. We went ahead and ordered antibiotics including Rocephin 100 mg per kg IV. Laboratories returned with a white count 30.7, hemoglobin 14.0, platelet count 344. Sodium 153, potassium 6.9, chloride 113, CO2 of 10, BUN 88, creatinine 1.15, calcium 7.2. We are getting a BMET. I have ordered IV glucose, D25 2 mL/kg. A urine culture, and urinalysis, and a blood culture were ordered and pending. Postintubation chest x-ray showed left-air space disease. Right lung was clear. Endotracheal tube appeared to be in satisfactory position. Head CT did show evidence of chronic maxillary sinusitis. I spoke to Dr. from ICU and the patient will be transferred there in critical but stable condition. He asked that we go ahead and give him vancomycin 20 mg/kg IV as well as Acyclovir 20 mg per/kg IV, and I will also order maintenance IV fluids after receiving initial 200-mL normal saline bolus. We also gave him an ampule of calcium gluconate for his hypocalcemia. IMPRESSION: 1. Mental status changes. 2. Acute meningitis. 3. Sepsis syndrome. DISPOSITION: To ICU in critical but stable condition. CRITICAL CARE TIME: Exclusive of all procedures which included endotracheal intubation as well as spinal tape, greater than 60 minutes. |
