Hospital, continued

   After the dire difficulties of yesterday, when I spent hours at the hospital watching my father repeatedly try to get away from the gown/blanket/iv/bed, I was completely wiped last evening. Not a great time to be trying to help kids study algebra and zoology (every phylum for ALL of animalia on ONE test? Really?) 

   This morning I swung by his house and scooped up a lightweight blanket from his bed. Perhaps something familiar touching him will help with that urgent need to ‘escape’ and go home? He was not lucid when I arrived at his room, but I took the harsh hospital blanket off and put the familiar blanket over him. He gathered it up in his hands, pressed it to his face, and visibly settled down. He spent most of the next four hours sleeping exhaustedly. I think that was a win.

   I spent those hours sitting quietly in the room, talking briefly with his nurse about withdrawal symptoms, and helping him understand the blood draw and physical assessment (not good, he can’t stand on his own). The only item of interest was 1) me trying to learn the layout of the building and 2) the blood splatters all over the stairs. No, I can explain . .

   We have very few truly large buildings in our area. The hospital may indeed be the largest, and it’s also confusingly segmented inside to keep different departments, um, apart, I guess. I didn’t want to use the elevator for only three flights of stairs, so I set out to try to find the stairwell (cunningly hidden) and then orient myself across the lower floor from the far-flung stairway exit to the main atrium and cafeteria. It just felt like an interesting challenge in an otherwise very boring day. I did it, too - no getting lost* or turned around!

   The concerning part was, in trotting briskly down the staircase, I came across a Large splatter of blood. I took a second to process it (maybe a bunch of dark paint splattered? Mmm, probably not paint) and then OF COURSE muttered “COLOR THEORY” under my breath and moved on. I have been here on Tumblr too long, and my brain is permanently changed.

* Almost turned wrong into the Behavioral Svc Dept, which might not have been inappropriate. I felt a little ‘behavioral’ at times.

SVC-WITS-Seattle Children’s Letterpress Broadside Project

Through Seattle Arts & Lectures’ Writers in the Schools (WITS) Program, I have the amazing job (along with fellow WITS teaching artist Ann Teplick) of helping patients at Seattle Children’s Hospital to write their own poems, stories, and comics. It is inspiring and humbling work, and I am blown away by my students’ writing and the opportunity to get to spend this creative time with them, helping their voices reach the page and finding ways for that work to be celebrated in the wider community. 

As one of the most moving opportunities we have to celebrate these powerful young voices, since 2011 WITS has collaborated with the School of Visual Concepts in an annual project that partners professional letterpress artists with selected poems written by our WITS students at Seattle Children’s Hospital to create stunning letterpress broadsides for the students and their families to keep, as well as to be displayed in the community at SAL events, at the hospital, and in local venues including Seattle Public Libraries, Jack Straw Cultural Center, and the Seattle Art Museum. 

It is a labor of love by all involved, and the letterpress broadsides themselves are stunning. In the project, each artist or artist team chooses one student poem to work with, reading the text closely and deeply to come up with an original design to celebrate that poem, and in some cases the artists have the opportunity to speak with the poem’s writer to learn more about the writing and process. The artists hand-print each broadside using meticulous, master-level techniques, as well as creating a handmade portfolio for each year’s set. 

(Pictures thanks to Boxcar Press & the SVC letterpress artists themselves.)

These two blog posts by Boxcar Press (one of SVC’s community partners on this project, donating critical material support), share some of the behind-the-scenes processes by the letterpress artists working on the 2017 collaboration:

https://www.boxcarpress.com/blog/2017-seattle-childrens-hospital-broadsides-part-2/

I love seeing these broadsides displayed in the community, watching people read the words written by my students, the seeing the ways that their voices continue to ripple out powerfully and meaningfully -- a counterbalance to the often isolating experience of being in the hospital, feeling cut off not only from other people on the outside, but also potentially cut off from the parts of themselves that are outside of their medical condition. I love seeing the faces of my students when I can deliver their broadsides to them in person: the amazement that their words were treated with such care and commitment. (More than one student has expressed wonder that they get to keep, and even give away!, these beautiful objects celebrating their words.)  And to the families who have lost their child, in the midst of that almost unfathomable grief, I hope the broadside of their child’s words can serve as a kind of legacy, another way that that student will not be forgotten in this world.

Ottawa boy, 8, saves man nearly buried in snow

Ottawa paramedics are thanking an eight-year-old boy for saving an elderly man who was almost completely buried in snow during a blizzard Monday morning.

In a tweet, the Ottawa Paramedic Service said Clayton McGuire had spotted the man near his home and immediately told his parents, who called 911.

"The gentleman was almost all covered due to the huge snowfall when Clayton spotted him," the paramedic service said.

"A man, I saw him on the floor. Went to go my mom and dad straight away," Clayton told CTV News Ottawa, describing the scene. 

Clayton's dad Joey McGuire said he checked on the man as soon as he was outside.

"I asked the man if he was okay. He seemed like he was hurt; he couldn’t get up, he couldn’t walk, he had no strength at all," McGuire explained. "Looked like he had been down there for at least 20 minutes, maybe longer, because he was totally covered in snow."

McGuire says he and his wife brought the man up to their stairs, sat him down and got him a blanket. Clayton made him a hot chocolate while they waited for the ambulance to arrive.

The man was assessed at the scene but ultimately decided not to go to the hospital, according to paramedics.

A major snowstorm had dumped more than 40 cm of snow on Ottawa Monday, with rapid accumulation during the morning hours. Environment Canada said 12 cm fell between 8 and 9 a.m.

Ottawa mayor Jim Watson applauded Clayton's actions, calling him an "amazing and very kind person." Others are calling him a hero for his quick thinking and sharp eyes.

"I’m very proud of him," McGuire said of his son. "He’s awesome."

Many thanks to 8 y/o Clayton who located a man who had fallen in deep snow near his house earlier today. The gentleman was almost all covered due to the huge snowfall when Clayton spotted him & notified his parents who activated 9-1-1.#GoodNeighbour pic.twitter.com/XHDLWZL5RZ

Candice's Acute PE

Candice was a 44 year old white woman, standing at 5'6 with a pleasantly plump build, shoulder-length brown hair, and brown eyes. Candice was always a history buff, so it’s no surprise that she worked as a history teacher at the local high school. Outside of work, she was married to her husband John for the past 12 years. The two of them never had kids, but Candice often joked that her students counted as her kids.

Candice didn’t have any significant medical history, but had been experiencing shortness of breath and heart palpitations on and off for approximately 3 weeks prior to the incident, and attributed her symptoms to the day to day stress of being a teacher.

Yesterday, Candice was brought to our emergency department after being found semi conscious and struggling to breathe in her classroom after school by the school’s janitor. The medics informed our emergency department that they set up 2 large bore IVs and hung a bag of normal saline, gave her nitro for her chest pain, and put her on an o2 mask with high flow oxygen. “Please… call John…” she said weakly to the medics while they prepped her for transport. The medics told her that the ER staff would get ahold of her husband, but that didn’t reassure her at all. “call him… I have to see him before I die!” she replied in a weak, wobbly voice. The medics told her she wasn’t going to die and that she was in good hands, but Candice had an impending sense of doom.

During the ride over to the hospital, Candice’s condition worsened. Her eyes were teary as she continued gasping for air. She began the cough up blood, which sprayed the inside of the o2 mask. She began coughing up larger amounts of blood, so the medics suctioned out her mouth while she continued to cough and hack away. Even though the medics cleared her airway of blood, she continued to frantically gasp for air. Her vital signs were also dropping rapidly despite the medics' attempts to stabilize her.

Suddenly, Candice’s cries and gasps stopped. She let out a calm exhale and her eyes opened wide, drifting off into unconsciousness. The heart monitors displayed pulseless electrical activity, so the medics had to start coding the 44 year old in the back of the ambulance. The medic in the back of the ambulance set up the Lucas thumper so they’d be able to multitask more easily.

Once the Lucas thumper was wet up, it began delivering perfect, mechanical chest compressions. Candice’s chest caved in, and her large, natural breasts jiggled in sync with the machine’s motions. The medic then injected doses of epinephrine and atropine into the teacher’s IV in an attempt to obtain a shockable rhythm. The next step was to intubate her. A 7.0 ET tube was carefully navigated into her airway during ongoing compressions. This was a bit of a moving target for the paramedic, but they were able to successfully place the breathing tube and secure it with a blue tube holder. Once the ambu bag was attached, the medic started bagging her while the Lucas thumper did its work.

The first handful of cycles proved ineffective since Candice remained in PEA, so the next round of drugs were pushed intravenously at the 3 minute mark of the code. After just one more cycle of ambu bagging and Lucas compressions, Candice converted to v-fib. The medic gelled the defibrillator paddles and began charging them. Once the paddles were ready, the Lucas was paused and the paddles were placed up against the patient’s bare chest, and a 250j shock was delivered. Candice’s body jolted violently in response to the shock, but failed to produce a change. The medic resumed the Lucas compressions while they gelled and recharged the defibs to 300j. Moments later he paddles were ready and the next shock was delivered. Candice’s back arched, thrusting her chest into the air while her eyes stared lifelessly above. Once again, this shock failed to convert her out of v-fib, so a 360j shock was delivered shortly after. This shock caused Candice’s feet to leap up above the gurney before slamming back down a second later, showing off the thick, soft wrinkles throughout the soles of her size 9 feet. The third shock sent the cute teacher back into PEA, so the medic resumed the Lucas thumper.

Candice arrived at the emergency department a few minutes later and was still in PEA despite Lucas thumper compressions and another dose of epinephrine and atropine, having a total down time of 6 minutes at that point.

After the medics informed the ER team of the situation, they removed the Lucas thumper and let the ER staff take over. A nurse began deep, harsh chest compressions on the patient, causing her head to loll and her belly to bounce outwards from the residual force of each individual compression.

With CPR ongoing, the attending physician ordered a battery of blood tests: a CBC, BMP, tox screen, cardiac enzyme test, and a d-dimer. After all the blood was drawn and sent off to the lab for stat testing, a chest x ray was performed. The x ray showed a 2.8cm right atrial dilation, but no other noteworthy findings. Because of the right atrial dilation, the ER attending ordered an echocardiogram. The echo further confirmed the right atrial dilation, but didn’t show evidence of any other conditions on the short list of diagnoses such as: major STEMI, thoracic aorta or SVC aneurysm, or structural heart defects. The attending thought this was either a PE or a bleed in the lungs from undiagnosed pulmonary artery hypertension. The treatments for these 2 conditions are very different from one another and the wrong treatment could exacerbate things, so the ER team’s goal was to obtain ROSC and send her off to radiology for a chest CT angiogram.

Around the 10 minute mark of the code, Candice converted back to v-fib. The orange defib pads were stuck onto her bare chest and the electric whirring of the defibs being charged could be heard amongst the organized chaos in the room. When the paddles were ready to go, they were pressed up against Candice’s chest and a 300j shock was delivered. Her body flopped quickly on the table as the jolt of electricity coursed through her lifeless body. V-fib remained on the monitors, so a cycle of chest compressions were delivered while the paddles were readied for the next shock.

A short while later, the paddles were recharged and a 360j shock was promptly delivered. Candice’s arms and legs bounced around in response to the shock. This shock sent the 44 year old history teacher back into PEA, so CPR was resumed.

The nurses pumped away at Candice’s chest cover the coming minutes to no avail. Her ET tube began to fill up with blood, so the ambu bag was detached and the tube was suctioned out in order to obtain a clear airway. The suction tube made a slurping sound while it withdrew both fresh blood and clotted blood from the patient’s airway. After a few quick rounds of suction, the airway was restored and the ambu bag was reattached and the code continued.

Candice continued to receive deep, violent chest compressions. Her flabby torso jiggled around, and her left arm hung off the side of the table, bouncing slightly, in sync with the CPR that was being performed. The next dose of meds were injected into her IV, but the ER team began to grow less and less optimistic as more time went on.

It took another 5 and a half minutes, but Candice converted back to v-fib at the 17 minute mark of the code. Once again, the paddles were charged and pressed up against the history teacher’s bare chest. Once everyone backed away, 300 joules of electricity were sent back into Candice’s dying body. The shock forced the 44 year old’s limp body to twitch abruptly in response to the jolt of electricity. Once again, Candice wasn’t able to be shocked out of v-fib, so the team recharged the paddles and hit her again at 360. Her toes scrunched, wrinkling the soles of her feet; post shock, her toes relaxed from their clenched position. Another unsuccessful shock was delivered before Candice once again converted back to PEA.

One of the nurses resumed CPR on Candice. They could feel her cold, clammy skin through their gloved hands as they pumped the cute history teacher’s chest repeatedly. Candice’s chest was red and bruised from several broken ribs and the constant, forceful pressing of her sternum. Her eyes remained wide open, with a blank, lifeless stare up above while her head bobbed around slightly from the compressions.

Candice was given another dose of meds at the 19 minute mark of the code, and converted to v-fib 2 minutes later. The ER team shocked Candice 3 more times, and coded her for another 5 minutes to no avail. Despite the ER staff’s best efforts, time of death was called on Candice at 15:53 while she was still in v-fib after a 26 minute code.

The ambu bag was detached and the chirping heart monitors were turned off. The nurses shut Candice’s eyes for the final time and began plucking the EKG electrodes off her bare, battered chest. The orange defib pads were peeled off and her body was covered up with a sheet, only leaving her feet exposed. A toe tag was placed on the big toe of her left foot before she was sent up to the hospital morgue.

The autopsy revealed a series of small blood clots in the smaller blood vessels of the lungs, explaining Candice’s 3 week history of symptoms. However, a large blood clot was found lodged in the right pulmonary artery, explaining her right sided heart issues and sudden deterioration. If Candice sought treatment earlier, it’s very likely she would have survived, making the case even more sad for all of those involved.

There are different brands of feeding tube but usually only one brand is used at any one hospital. A common brand is called a Dobhoff tube. This is a trademarked name but this term is often used generically for any feeding tubes that have weighted tips. These tips will appear as a linear metallic density and are designed to allow peristalsis to carry the tubes through the pylorus to the duodenum. Ideally, they should end up in the third portion of the duodenum or duodenal-jejunal junction.

Clinical hint: Place the patient on their right side when trying to advance the tube through the pylorus. This makes the weight of the tube fall against the pylorus. If all else fails, it can be done in radiology under fluoroscopic control.

Other tubes and wires

Checking that all lines, tubes, and wires are correctly placed is vital. You would be surprised at where some of these lines end up. For example, central venous catheters are notorious for following tiny veins, such as along the pericardium. This can be a problem if you are infusing an irritating substance. It is important that you have a basic understanding of normal central line placement as well as incorrect line placements. Resources on how to assess for correct line and tube positions:

CAT to ER to ICU

Thursday, April 25, 2019

After dragging my feet through the land of ZocDoc, I booked an appointment with a primary care physician since I did not really have one all these years. When ever I have had health insurance in the past, it has always felt sufficient to see my dentist and gynecologist regularly. I rarely get more than one cold per winter, maybe strep throat if I’m going through a traumatic breakup, but that’s it!

After getting approval for a CT scan through my primary doctor, I informed my office I would be getting a scan over my lunch break, but I should be done in time for our afternoon meeting.

The radiology clinic attended to me in a relatively timely matter. I received some sort of iodine drip to increase the contrast of the scan. They warned it may make give me feelings of needing to urinate or a metallic mouth flavor. My groin got sensationally warm.

CAT SCAN An unfamiliar sci-fi machine lay ahead of me with a Battlestar Galactica Cyclon-like eye beam, menacing red horizontal laser against a dark rectangle at the bottom of a large donut-shaped contraption. Mm, doughnuts. Its shape reminded me how I have been fasting for four hours. I mildly wondered if I would have time to pick up a sandwich before my meeting back at the office.

While the donut structure stayed static, the platform bed I laid upon slid back and forth. Gears inside the torus spun faster than a washing machine. It amazed me we could get imagery of any kind this way, and while I have wondered what it would be like to get a CT/CAT scan in the past, I did not expect to do so at this point in my life. It felt too early.

After getting the IV removed and dressed back in my normal clothes, I waited for my results. I expected the radiologist to sit down with me to explain the situation. The receptionist hands me a few papers, plus a CD that must contain my scan. Hah, CDs. I dimly think about how I have no CD drive at home.

After about fifteen to twenty minutes, a man enters the waiting room to confirm my identity. “Are you Amanda? You poor thing!” Oh, no.

This man had apparently already spoken with my PCP on the results of my scan, and I was to go to him straight away for further instructions. The radiologist continued on to say he has seen my doctor before as well for “a thing on his back” before reassuring me everything would be all right. He raised his hand for a high-five. I returned it.

PCP Visit Dr. Adams did not sit down with me to go over the CT scan as I had expected. Instead he had already spoken with the doctors at a nearby hospital and instructed me to head straight to the ER. I should take a cab. He handed me a square of paper.

All right. Definitely not making that mid-afternoon meeting. Probably no time for a sandwich either.

ER In the cab ride over, I called my parents to update them on my situation, but I kept it light-hearted. “Feel better, kiddo!” my mom consoled. I expected to go in for another test or two. I did not know I would spend the next two nights at the hospital. Upon entering the main entrance of the hospital, I feel my sense of control slowly start to crumble. The gravity of the situation suddenly feels immensely heavy. I had expended my last bit of self-control in convincing my parents that my present condition is not a big deal. In truth, I was no longer sure. I have never been to the ER, let alone received explicit instructions to go into one.  

Security guards lined what I expected to be a receptionist desk, but there is no office worker in sight. Tears start to well up in my eyes. All of the surrounding signs say unhelpful things like Green Pathway or Blue Pathway. None of this makes any sense. What’s going to happen to me? What am I doing? Where am I going? Is my eyeliner running?

One security guard reassured me, “Take your time, take your time. Where do you need to go?” He politely looked away while I struggled to fight back tears. After fumbling something about a thoracic surgeon, I remember that I need to go to the emergency room. Go outside and farther down to the right.

In a fog I enter the next unmarked door. A kind-faced man tells me it is about a fifteen-second walk more to the right. How did I get this bad at wayfinding? A wave of idiocy washes over me when I finally see the huge and clearly-defined letters that read, “E M E R G E N C Y – R  O O M” outside.

After checking in and traversing a few tunnels, all windows and natural light disappear. My vitals are taken in one room. I follow another medical professional through sterile hallways, lined with painted cinderblocks, fluorescent lights, and double-doors accessible only via an identification card. Dozens of hospital beds with grey faces and sullen looks line a central cluster of office desks. Behind each computer screen sat someone in a solid-colored scrub, completely unfazed by the organized chaos.

I am led to Bed #56. Is this corner of the room meant for me, or is someone else going to need this bed? I sat down like it’s a couch. Surely someone will come by to conduct another test or two, and then I can just go home. Maybe I can still make it to my gym class to fit in another workout.

A flurry of people stop by my bed, separated only by a curtain partition. What brings me to the hospital? How did my symptoms start? How long have I had this cough? Let me take those printed materials and CD from you.

Two thoracic professionals show me the results of the CAT/CT scan. Based on previous Google searches, I had expected a 3D-model but instead they’re aerial snapshots, slice by slice. Look at the dark spot in the center. That is my trachea. Like a reverse full moon, as we see pictures that approach the center, it turns almost into a sliver before waxing back into a full circle.

Over the course of the evening I learn that I most likely have lymphoma. There is a kind that tends to afflict younger women in the mediastinum or the space between the lungs. This rather large unknown mass most likely has been pressing on my superior vena cava (SVC), which would explain the neck and facial swelling, as well as my trachea, which would explain the coughing.

I don’t have allergies or cold or cough or sinus infection or bronchitis. I just have a tumor. See, guys? I was never contagious.

ICU Because I am essentially not bleeding to death, I will be moved to the ICU in a couple hours. They have deemed my condition unsafe to sleep at home, and I must be monitored at all times. I may have to stay at the hospital “several days” or at least through the weekend.

It is only Thursday night. I take out my phone to cancel my gym class.

The ICU ends up being on the fifteenth floor, and I receive a room all to myself. I don’t think I have been inside a hospital since I visited my paternal grandmother at one back in the Nineties. I did not think I would be at one regarding my own health for another decade or two. It is already a comforting change to see a window to the outside world, despite my occasional disdain for the sun.

I am scheduled to receive corticosteroid injections every six hours. A blood pressure cuff will measure my pressure every fifteen minutes before midnight, then switching only to every hour until morning. Occasionally my veins are flushed with a saline solution to keep the IVs clear. Its cooling sensation is rather pleasant, and it’s what I generally imagine Marvel superheroes feel when power courses through their veins.

Sleep is sparse, but I find rest. I have been instructed to fast, so I contemplate my next meal, eventually finding the Food Network to quell my hunger through a twisted sense of exposure therapy.
