Here is the final education for the week email for the 2022-2023 academic year. 

A 2 year old presents to your ED after a first time seizure at home. She was seizing for about 10 minutes before EMS arrived and continued to do so. She was given abortive meds which subsequently stopped her seizure prior to ED arrival. Patient is somnolent and minimally arousable to verbal and tactile stimulation. Vitals are below.  

T 98 HR 115 BP 86/45 RR 14 O2 93% on NRB

Which vital signs are worrisome to you at this moment? (I am worried so you should be also!) 

Use the attached pdf for how POCUS can assist another common ED procedure.  Looking forward to the next academic year with you all. 

Good luck to our third years.  The US division is always available to you wherever you are. Please keep in touch and continue to make us proud. 

Until next time, 
Maria
