81-year-old male coming from a private residence,
00:13
family.
00:15
Family there with severe language barrier and also with severe severe dementia.
00:22
So family reports fever onset this morning and patient isn't acting appropriately.
00:28
Patient right now, A&O x0,
00:33
GCS 12, that is all secondary to dementia.
00:36
Family does state that he is around his baseline just as an act normally so he can't extrapolate further because of language barrier.
00:44
In the state that the patient is normally seen on South Shore, so hopefully they'll be able to have further insight with history.
00:52
Vital signs currently, blood pressure 121 over 67.
00:55
Heart rate is irregular, but he has severe tremors.
00:59
So a hard of fact,
01:01
you can't really read it, but it's irregular.
01:03
Respiratory rate, 24, that in 94% room air.
01:07
Aphibrow, 91.1 axillary, so a patient feels extremely hot.
01:12
IV has been established.
01:14
Fluid is being given.
01:15
Unable to give Tylenol.
01:17
You can't ask you any further questions.
01:20
We stand with South Shore in 15 minutes.
01:25
If you could do your best to give me a pulse rate, I know you said it's difficult because of the artifacts, but...
01:31
Pulse rate is going to be a regular around the 130s.
01:34
Family kind of stated we have some kind of hard condition.
01:37
We're assuming if they said.
01:41
For the fact, it's very severe.
01:45
Copy that. And then, do you know what language?
01:50
I have no clue what language.
01:52
It appears probably European, but we're hoping to South Shore, since he's supposedly been there.
01:56
We'll have it slightest to us.
02:00
I'm just going on a place off shore.
02:01
He's return.
