We treated a wildly combative patient last night that needed to be physically restrained by LE and my partners as I administered IM chemical restraints. During this endeavor, he began to scream loudly that he was "allergic to Haldol" and it made his tongue and throat swell up...I wasn't using Haldol, so I proceeded with my 5 mg Versed. I planned on giving 5 mg Haldol as well afterwards but held off because I certainly didn't need to cause an anaphylactic reaction in this dude.

Any bets on how many instances of Haldol associated anaphylaxis were found on a literature search this AM? Zero. Either I found myself a medical miracle, or my new friend has been exposed to Haldol in the past and just doesn't like the way it makes him feel. To be fair, I guess it may not be too hard to confuse acute dystonic reactions or extrapyramidal symptoms and tongue protrusion with angioedema from the patient's perspective. I'm still pretty sure I can place this in the same category of patients who complain of an allergy to Antabuse since they don't feel well when they down their evening 12 pack...

Going to venture to guess this. Sounds a lot like the pt thats allergic to every pain medication except for Dilaudid.
 
Or the patient I had that was allergic to Narcan. :)


Should have just got orders for Benadryl instead. :)
 
Yay, no more blood draws prehospital for our trauma center. Our other 2 hospitals are very iffy on if they will use our bloods or just toss them. Looks like I'm done drawing bloods :)

About time. I heard that whole conundrum about how they wanted us labeling the blood draws.

That was ridiculous. They wanted us to stay at bedside with the patient until they got the registration stickers which can take a decent amount of time.

That lasted about a month and then it went back to normal with us just handing bloods over the nurse and clearing.

My IV rolls just got a lot smaller haha
