Current Issue Five days after her surgery, Patient 8 develops a hacking cough with dark green phlegm and wheeze from the lungs when she is in a prone position. She has developed a respiratory tract infection that does not appear connected to her appendix rupture.
History Patient 8 was on a school trip with her teacher and classmates. She tells her teacher that she has had severe stomach pain on the right lower abdomen and can't stop vomiting. Her teacher takes her to the ER. Along with the severe pain and nausea, she is also dehydrated and has a fever of 103. The ER nurse starts IV saline to help with the dehydration while the ER doctor calls for an ultrasound and CT scan of the area along with blood tests. The imaging results show a ruptured appendix and she is taken to emergency surgery. After the successful appendectomy, she needs to remain in the hospital, closely monitored for 5–7 days for abdominal and blood infections.
