  Reye’s syndrome is a rare but life-threatening disorder that causes swelling in the brain and in the liver, and it can result in symptoms such as vomiting, confusion, seizures, coma, and death. […] The two key risk factors associated with Reye’s syndrome include a recent viral illness, such as influenza, and the use of aspirin. […] it’s imperative that we educate our families to avoid the use of aspirin in children, and instead use acetaminophen or ibuprofen as needed. […] So with Reye’s syndrome, because we have this liver dysfunction, we’re going to see an elevation in ALT, AST, bilirubin, as well as ammonia. […] Treatment of Reye’s syndrome is mainly supportive and may include intubation and mechanical ventilation. […] Nursing care includes monitoring the patient for increased intracranial pressure and taking measures to help decrease that intracranial pressure. […] We also want to implement seizure precautions, and then we also need to implement bleeding precautions. […] Because we have liver dysfunction, the patient will be at higher risk for hemorrhaging.
