Case #1

A 3-year-old male is brought in by his mother after he fell playing in the park about 2 hours ago. He

The mother states he was unresponsive for about 5 minutes and threw up 3 times initially, but has
not thrown up in the last 90 minutes or during the car ride to the ED.
There are no focal findings.

He will require moderate sedation for a CT of the brain.
The child is very anxious and the mother states he will not hold still during the head CT.
Sedation is discussed with the mother and she agrees to this.
His vital signs are: Temp: 37.3/99.1 HR: 114 RR: 22 BP: 98/62 O2 saturation: 99% on RA
