Bad call yestarday...started off with a three year old boy who presented with status epilepticus, TRO meningitis. His seizure was never aborted despite iv valium and phenytoin load. Perhaps the dose we gave was not enough...he ended up being intubated by anaesthetist for airway and cerebral protection. I really hope that he won't have complications like hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy and end up bedridden...
We transferred him to PICU HPP, luckily they manage to slot one bed for us, if not then we have to call Alor Setar. The journey was eventful...patient desaturated twice due to a lot of oropharyngeal secretions...after suction he improved. He also woke up a few times that we had to purge his midazolam infusion. The ambulance driver recklessly drove the vehicle...only God knows how I felt. I ended up taking IM Stemetil once I got back to hospital.
My prayer for the boy for his cure and health.
