Case Study Scenario
Edward is a 37 year-old-man and aspiring musician. He has been married to Genevieve for 8 years, and together they have two young children. Edward and Genevieve live three doors down from Edward’s mother, Una. This turned out to be quite a convenient arrangement because, after Edward’s father passed away, Una would regularly spend time at Edward and Genevieve’s house minding the children.
Edward was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was 14, and since that time he has managed to maintain relatively stable blood glucose levels with a combination of diet, regular insulin and routine blood glucose monitoring.
Edward had recently been unwell, complaining to Genevieve of a sore throat and fever. He was treating this symptomatically with regular paracetamol and warm honey and lemon drinks. This was a pretty unfortunate time for Edward to be unwell because he had recently been offered some work out of town that he hoped would kick start his musical career. Genevieve thought it best if Edward went to see a doctor before he set off for these performances. However, Edward was never keen on visiting the doctor and refused to go. Instead, he reassured her that it was just a viral infection, and that in a few days things would start to improve.
While Edward was out of town, his viral infection began to be get worse. He developed muscle aches, and the pain in his throat meant that he could not eat or drink – let alone perform on stage. When he did not turn up at the agreed time for his first performance, the venue manager tried to contact Edward by phone. Receiving no response, he went to the hotel where Edward was staying, discovering him unconscious in the bathroom. The ambulance was immediately called, and upon arrival the paramedics assessed Edward as being in a diabetic coma. Despite instigating the appropriate life-preserving treatment, Edward suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest en route to
hospital. Resuscitation was commenced and after several minutes, Edward’s spontaneous circulation returned. On arrival at the hospital, Edward was intubated and ventilated. After a short stay in the emergency department, Edward was transferred to the intensive care unit.
