A Practical Guide to Stabilisation and Transfer
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 December 2021
A previously fit and well 13-year-old girl was referred to the paediatric retrieval service for transfer and request for admission to PICU. She had been found collapsed by police approximately 4 hours after she had messaged a friend saying she was suicidal. Her friend raised the alarm to her parents and subsequently to the police. The friend was able to identify her location by her phone for the police. The child had taken a deliberate mixed overdose of her father’s antihypertensive medication. She has no history of mental health problems and the current situation was felt to be due to school stressors (potential bullying and academic pressure).
