Mid twenties lady 14 weeks pregnant now.
Too much vomiting, dehydration, ketones.
Admitted twice, last time given 4 litres of iv fluid over about 24
hours, discharged with the ketones reduced to a trace, and with some
Amoxycillin.
Tried Stemetil, Buccastem, Metoclopramide.
Scan reported as one baby, nothing else.
Questions
Any other drugs particularly worth trying? Tablets are not a
starter this evening, needs to be parenteral or rectal.
If my local Obs and Gynae people chuck her out again having
"rehydrated" her with 30% over her normal fluid requirement for a
day, shall I set up a drip at home, or refer her to the physicians?
I reckon she is probably 3 litres short still.
