"Respond to a private residence for a 2-year-old female with an altered mental status, history of PDCD"

A history of what? You know... PDCD!

During this episode we explore Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency, or PDCD. PDCD is a genetic abnormality which affects the conversion of pyruvate to Acetyl Coenzyme-A in the Krebs Cycle. This abnormality prevents mitochondrial energy utilization, leading to neurological degeneration.

Join me as we take a dive into the EMS management of PDCD to help you best care for patients in your community!
