Dispatched via 911 to a local clinic for a male in his 30s having seizures.
Arrives on scene to find a male in his 30s laying on his side in one of the rooms. Nurse states (and wife confirms) tht for the past year the pt has about 8 or 9 tonc clinic seizures per day. He does not have an aura, but he does have a period of unresponsiveness prior to seizures. Patient went to the clinic today because during one of his seizures he had an episode of apnea and his lips became cyanotic. At the clinic they did an IV with TKO NS and a 12 lead that showed NSR w/o ectopy. CT scan came back negative. BGL of 93. Pt was afebrile. His last seizure was 2hrs prior to our arrival. He received 2 Ativan from the clinic physician, as well as 2LPM O2 via NC. Vitals were unremarkable. During transport patient became unresponsive for about 2 min before having a tonic clonic seizure that lasted about 20 seconds. Respiratory rate never dropped below 8 during this episode, and no cyanosis was noted.
Can't remember if I forgot anything or not..feel free to ask any clarifying questions. I was not the primary caregiver, I was a third on the rescue so I may take some time to clarify things I'm unsure about.
Any idea what could be going on?
