Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 yep. paraldehyde can also be used for detox, but because of problems with plastics, is rarely available these days.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Wow, you guys have gotten farther than I thought you would! However, I see a herd of zebras. And a bunch of people looking at the trees before trying to name what forest they're in. So, as requested, your first clue: Your patient was taken to the ER, where she was diagnosed with heat exhaustion, and given fluids. A couple of hours later, her symptoms went away. The docs, snickering at your over-thinking, sent her home two hours later. She was discharged with instructions to take more frequent breaks. About three or four weeks later, you are dispatched for a 58 y/o female, possible stroke. En route, your dispatch is changed to AMS. Upon arrival, you find the patient and a 17 y/o female just outside of a restaurant. The 17 y/o girl is holding the woman's hand, but looking away from the pt. The girl states: " She's having some sort of neurological event. She hasn't been acting quite right, and then all of a sudden, she started saying that everything is melting, and she's got some sort of aphasia. Her pupils are good, though. " She seems nervous. Upon questioning, she reluctantly admits to being the patient's daughter. The patient herself cannot form responses. She'll say things such as, " That sign is really bright! " With much alarm, looking away, when there is nothing in front of her. She'll also mix up items, such as calling an oxygen cylinder a purse, and your ambulance a space ship. She seems quite alarmed and distressed. So, what would you ask? What would you do? What do you want to know? And, of course, what's happening to your patient, and why? > nope.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Wow, you guys have gotten farther than I thought you would! However, I see a herd of zebras. And a bunch of people looking at the trees before trying to name what forest they're in. So, as requested, your first clue: Your patient was taken to the ER, where she was diagnosed with heat exhaustion, and given fluids. A couple of hours later, her symptoms went away. The docs, snickering at your over-thinking, sent her home two hours later. She was discharged with instructions to take more frequent breaks. About three or four weeks later, you are dispatched for a 58 y/o female, possible stroke. En route, your dispatch is changed to AMS. Upon arrival, you find the patient and a 17 y/o female just outside of a restaurant. The 17 y/o girl is holding the woman's hand, but looking away from the pt. The girl states: " She's having some sort of neurological event. She hasn't been acting quite right, and then all of a sudden, she started saying that everything is melting, and she's got some sort of aphasia. Her pupils are good, though. " She seems nervous. Upon questioning, she reluctantly admits to being the patient's daughter. The patient herself cannot form responses. She'll say things such as, " That sign is really bright! " With much alarm, looking away, when there is nothing in front of her. She'll also mix up items, such as calling an oxygen cylinder a purse, and your ambulance a space ship. She seems quite alarmed and distressed. So, what would you ask? What would you do? What do you want to know? And, of course, what's happening to your patient, and why? > nope.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 This particular 17 year old girl happens to love studying neurology. She can't tell you what an EKG is, but she can talk for hours about serotonergic agents, and what's wrong with modern psychiatry. And no, she doesn't know what's wrong with your patient.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Though I will add that ironically enough, she did earn the nickname " Doogie Howser " , is referred to as " Doogie " even to this day, and occasionally marks items which belong to her with " DH " .

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Ok, I now believe this patient is suffering from Wernicke's-Korsakav syndrome and needs some thiamine stat. Sent from my iPhone, McGee, EMT-P, EMT-T Wow, you guys have gotten farther than I thought you would! However, I see a herd of zebras. And a bunch of people looking at the trees before trying to name what forest they're in. So, as requested, your first clue: Your patient was taken to the ER, where she was diagnosed with heat exhaustion, and given fluids. A couple of hours later, her symptoms went away. The docs, snickering at your over-thinking, sent her home two hours later. She was discharged with instructions to take more frequent breaks. About three or four weeks later, you are dispatched for a 58 y/o female, possible stroke. En route, your dispatch is changed to AMS. Upon arrival, you find the patient and a 17 y/o female just outside of a restaurant. The 17 y/o girl is holding the woman's hand, but looking away from the pt. The girl states: " She's having some sort of neurological event. She hasn't been acting quite right, and then all of a sudden, she started saying that everything is melting, and she's got some sort of aphasia. Her pupils are good, though. " She seems nervous. Upon questioning, she reluctantly admits to being the patient's daughter. The patient herself cannot form responses. She'll say things such as, " That sign is really bright! " With much alarm, looking away, when there is nothing in front of her. She'll also mix up items, such as calling an oxygen cylinder a purse, and your ambulance a space ship. She seems quite alarmed and distressed. So, what would you ask? What would you do? What do you want to know? And, of course, what's happening to your patient, and why? nope. I double checked the history with AW, who had access to an excellent historian for the case. the skin is described as hot and dry, and there is no evidence of active salivation, lacrimation, urinary or fecal incontinence or emesis. Oh, and where would the Acetylcystine come in? ck In a message dated 6/13/2010 16:41:54 Central Daylight Time, lnmolino@... writes: SLUDGEM actually Doc.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 it does include those changes, but more significantly, it's the problem with the brain trying to compensate for the depression (with increased internal stimulation levels) vs the brain trying to recover from external stimulation. the problem being that the unrestrained internal 'up' leads to the various problems with DTs, which can be life threatening if not treated. to the best of my knowledge (covering 35 years of working with various detox programs), no one has died from a pure opioid or stimulant detox, but a fair number still die each year from improperly managed sedative detox. To add insult to injury, the three different classes (ethanol, benzos, and barbs) of primary sedatives are often mixed and matched by the patient, and while alcohol and barbs will detox benzos, and benzos and barbs will detox alcohol, you have to be very careful with barbs, as alcohol will help, but benzos don't always work. Since Propofol (in short supply right now for technical reasons) is an alcohol... Additionally, alcohol and nicotine are the two most commonly abused self medications, complicating many other psychological problems. ck In a message dated 6/13/2010 21:55:51 Central Daylight Time, summedic@... writes: Is it because of the changes to the neurotransmitters, including gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate?

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 If it's an actual lithium OD, I have. My patient was in cardiac arrest, though. Sodium bicarb brought back ROSC, probably because of the chemistry of it binding at the electron level with the positive lithium ions.
