www.insideHALTON.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, January 25, 2013 · 4 OTMH doctor calls it `one of those amazing cases' Continued from page 3 Dr. Inamdar considered inserting a small needle into the artery of the wrist and then analyzing the results. But MacLean's blood pressure was so low that she didn't even have a palpable pulse. The doctor then checked MacLean's oxygen level in her ear lobe. But those readings are often inaccu- rate, and the reading he got was "almost at a level that it wouldn't be compatible with human life." Emergency medicine, Dr. Inamdar said, can occasionally force physicians to make an educated guess. That wasn't an option in this case, however. The standard treatment for a pulmonary embolism is the use of a thrombolytic, a drug that thins out blood clots and limits tissue damage. But if MacLean had a ruptured aorta or was suffering from some other form of internal bleeding, not allowing the blood to clot would almost certainly prove fatal. "I remember looking at her and thinking, `This lady is going to die, and I don't have a diagnosis,'" Dr. · AVALON · TUNDRA · TACOMA · MATRIX · RAV4 · FJ CRUISER · HIGHLANDER · COROLLA · AVALON · TUNDRA · TACOMA · MATRIX · RAV4 · FJ CRUISER · HIGHLANDER · COROLLA · · AVALON · TUNDRA · TACOMA · MATRIX · RAV4 · AVALON · TUNDRA · TACOMA · MATRIX · RAV4 · FJ CRUISER · HIGHLANDER · COROLLA · AVALON · TUNDRA · TACOMA · MATRIX · RAV4 · FJ CRUISER · HIGHLANDER · COROLLA · · AVALON · TUNDRA · TACOMA · MATRIX · RAV4 · AVALON · TUNDRA · TACOMA · MATRIX · RAV4 · FJ CRUISER · HIGHLANDER · COROLLA · AVALON · TUNDRA · TACOMA · MATRIX · RAV4 IN A NEW CONQUER WINTER 2013 VENZA 2013 TOYOTA Crush some snowflakes with Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control and Smart Stop Technology.

After determining MacLean had no bleeding in her belly, he scanned her heart -- and found her right ventricle was much larger than her left. Typically, it's the other way around. "Out of all the possibilities, you would only see that in (pulmonary embolism)," Dr. Inamdar said. "After doing the ultrasound, I gave her the thrombolytic medication to dissolve the blood clot. I was almost hanging my hat on that." Within 10 minutes, MacLean's blood pressure and oxygen levels had noticeably improved. Shortly after that, she began to regain full consciousness. "I think we were almost cheering, because in the end we knew it was the right diagnosis," Dr. Inamdar said. "And a lady we were fairly convinced was going to die was turning around and improving." In the meantime, Ron had arrived at OTMH and was in the background of the operating room. He had been alerted to Cari's dire situation by two Oakville firefighters from Fire Station 2, which is located on Cornwall Rd. -- directly across from the quad-pad arena where Ron was playing hockey that night. "It's funny, because they just walked in and asked people if they knew what rink Ron MacLean was playing on," Cari said. "Ron saw the firefighters come over to (his team's) bench but he just assumed one of his guys was having heart issues. There are a couple older guys on his team... he didn't realize they were coming to get him. "When Ron was driving over (to the hospital), he thought, `Well, good, Cari must have decided to go into emergency,'" Cari added. "Then he thought, `Why didn't she drive herself?'" Cari MacLean spent two weeks at OTMH as she recovered from the ordeal. "It was massive. My body has plenty of healing to do," she said. "But my mind is finally prepared to face full on what happened. Before, I couldn't go there. It was still too raw." During her time in the hospital, MacLean developed a great appreciation for the staff. "They were incredible. They did not once give me any sense of panic," MacLean said. "They were professional. They were clam. Dr. Inamdar had control of the theatre. "And during my stay afterwards, I saw the work environment, for the nurses particularly. It's not an easy job, and they do it with pleasure." MacLean is not the only one who will be forever impacted by the experience. Dr. Inamdar, who said he works in emergency medicine because "it's one of those fields where you really have this narrow window of opportunity to make decisions that change the course of people's lives," described the entire case Thursday as if it had happened the previous day. "This was one of those really amazing cases," he said. "As physicians in general, we always keep a small group of cases in our mind. We take that with us whenever we practice, because sometimes you have good outcomes and sometimes you have bad outcomes. "Sometimes, when you have a bad day, you look back at these cases. And it just reminds you why you do what you do."
