At 10 am, the nurses’ notes indicated that Christopher Mwenda Ntogaiti had received doses of adrenaline, atropine and hydrocortisone. The drugs were part of the treatment recorded at the hospital that morning.
Ordinarily, these drugs serve different medical purposes: adrenaline is used in emergencies such as cardiac arrest and severe allergic reactions, atropine can help treat a dangerously slow heart rate, while hydrocortisone is used to manage severe inflammation and certain allergic reactions. Their use together may reflect an attempt to manage a deteriorating patient.
