Scenario Description

This scenario involves the assessment and management of infant hyponatremia and hypoglycemia in a 5-day-old male. Learners are dispatched to a small community ER to transport the patient, Davy Humphrey, who presents with lethargy and irritability. Report and dialogue with the Mother reveal that the Mother has been diluting and withholding formula due to financial constraints. Initial vital signs show the infant is tachycardic, tachypneic, hypotensive, and desaturating, with sunken fontanelles and mottled skin. Lab values from the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) reveal severe hyponatremia and hypoglycemia. If hyponatremia and hypoglycemia are not treated properly, the patient may decompensate into seizure. If the crew recognizes and appropriately treats hyponatremia per the available protocols, the patient will stabilize, and the team can prepare for transport.

Learning Objectives

1. The learner will demonstrate a complete neonatal physical assessment within 10 minutes.
2. The learner will correctly interpret lab values to identify hyponatremia and hypoglycemia by the end of this simulation.
3. The learner will demonstrate treatment of hyponatremia and hypoglycemia by the end of this simulation according to Air Methods Neonatal Hyponatremia and Hypoglycemia guidelines.
