Um, noooo not that but good guess!

Paging the smart people...how long do you get with a mesentaric artery failure before the bowel infarcts? All I've ever seen are tears with ischemia, that slowly recover afterward.

This is such a good scenario, I hate to hijack, but it's a little bit relevant since the author said it was a good guess, right?

Also, I'm going to do a reality check on the hand sanitizer notion. There is no way on God's green earth a 7 yo would drink hand sanitizer. It would take a psych pathology that was definitely not out of the blue.

Start a new thread on it. :)

There are 2 mesenteric artieries, the superior and the inferior.

Infarcts

Because of the collateral circulation, it has to be a very major if not total occlusion before it starts to cause problems. But once it actually clots off, the collateral can no longer support it. It is an acute emergency as the bowel will suffer irreversable damage in hours.

How soon depends on the location of the infarct, but it is usually right at the junction of the aorta and the respective artery.

I think maybe it is time to put this out of its misery.


My head is hurting from what I have been looking at.

This kid is SEVEN, guys! Have you ever seen a 7 yo?!

Brown, for the record, can we have a look at the sexual maturity of this second grader?

Yes, yes I have seen a 7 year old. However, considering the author of this scenario, ANYthing AND EVERYthing is possible if not likely.

Half of me was kidding when I mentioned TSS, but kids do funny things. Often a result of watched and learned behavior from their parents... Could this child have put something someplace prematurely? Absolutely. If you haven't transported someone with something shoved somewhere it wasnt meant to be, you haven't worked in EMS long enough. ;)

The child drank a whole bottle of hand soap, spent 48 hours in a medically induced coma in intensive care and walked out of hospital two days later

Her serum ethanol level was something like 400mg/dl

Wait, waterless alcohol-based hand soap? Didn't expect to see that in a permanent bathroom.

If she was in a medically induced coma for three days, who induced it and why? Did I miss something?
