Question |
|
Nearest hospital is 1.30 hrs from my chamber. Often a case of seizure becomes a matter of investigations which requires hopitalisation.But if I give anticonvulsants in my chamber & the seizure ceases, there is often hospital refusal on the ground that there is no indication to admit the child. Shall I allow the convulsion to persist for hospitalisation only??

Your query was put in the open forum (it was put online and answered by your fellow doctors). This is what your collegues have to say:
Response: all seizure cases should be hospitalised.
Our experts also advise that the patient's convulsions should be treated first and not to wait till the patient reaches the hospital. Hope this answers your query.
