READ THE FOLLOWING CASE AND ANSWER THE 4 QUESTIONS.

CASE: Samuel’

Paramedics have been dispatched to a residential address at 03.47 hours for a 10 year old boy who has woken with extreme shortness of breath.

On arrival

The patient (Samuel) is sitting on his bed. Both parents are with Samuel and have been attempting to slow down his breathing and administer more Ventolin with limited success.

Background

Samuel has a history of asthma and has been admitted to hospital twice before at the ages of 6 and 9 years old. Both admissions resulted in prolonged management of chest infections and associated severe asthma. Earlier in the evening he had taken both his preventative corticosteroid medication and his Ventolin inhaler which had limited effect in relieving the tightness in his chest.

He woke after fitful sleep at approximately 02.00 with increasing shortness of breath and pain down his left side of his chest.

Samuel has been complaining of discomfort down his left side for the last 10-12 hours.

The parents are worried that this may be another chest infection in conjunction with his asthma, but he does not appear to have any fever or productive cough. The parents state Samuel normally gets a fever and productive cough when he is fighting an infection. Any sign of colds or infection they treat early with the help of their local GP because of the increasing severity if left.

On Examination

Samuel is leaning forward, appears pale and using accessory muscles to breath. He is breathing in rapid shallow breaths with audible wheeze.

Respiratory Rate 32 / shallow and rapid

Pulse Rate 110 / bounding

SO2 90% on air

Blood Pressure 95 / 65

Auscultation reduce air entry on both left and right lung fields/ Audible respiratory wheeze

Pain score 8 /10 on left side

Skin / integumentary pale, dry, warm
