Confused party.
00:02
This is Engine 273 and Transporting Unit RA 207.
00:05
One, I have a moderate status.
00:10
We'll call it to say trauma right now.
00:13
I am looking to go to Palomar if they're open.
00:19
It's going to be our closest.
00:21
We'd like to come to you guys, but we're thinking this is probably going to be Palomar.
00:24
Let me know if your guys are ready for report.
00:28
Okay, I copy that.
00:31
Either open, so go ahead with your report.
00:35
Yeah, incident number is going to be (number withheld).
00:39
That's (number withheld).
00:43
Responding to a private residence this evening or this morning.
00:46
I'm sorry for a 73-year-old female.
00:50
Chief complaint today is going to be sounds like a fall.
00:53
So we responded, found our patient sitting upright or sitting on a chair in front of a toilet experiencing multiple episodes of vomiting.
01:02
Patient was alert and oriented.
01:04
Patient stated she had fallen asleep in a chair in the living room, got up to use the restroom where she remembers falling.
01:13
But it sounds her story sounds like she was having syncopal events.
01:17
She said she hadn't been feeling well all night.
01:22
Said she had one episode of vomiting,
01:24
passed out.
01:26
And her (name withheld) and (name withheld) found her in the bathroom.
01:33
(Name withheld) and (name withheld) found her unresponsive in the bathroom for approximately 20 to 30 seconds.
01:41
While we were assessing her on scene, patient did have a witnessed syncopal event while in the chair lasting approximately 30 to 45 seconds.
01:50
That's why I'm kind of thinking this whole event was a syncopal event rather than like a trauma related incident.
01:59
The only kicker here is patient is on Eliquis.
02:02
So other than that,
02:06
as of right now, it's complaining of abdominal pain.
02:09
She is having some, like I said, not feeling well for the past few hours at this early morning and evening last night.
02:16
She does have an ileostomy bag and stated that she's been feeling sick to her stomach and having episodes of vomiting, which is unusual for her.
02:25
Right now she's breathing, I would say about 16 times per minute.
02:30
Shallow but effective.
02:31
Clear breath sounds bilaterally.
02:32
O2 saturation 96% room air.
02:37
Skins are pale, slightly clammy.
02:42
She is alert and oriented.
02:43
Sometimes three, she is answering questions and following all commands with her.
02:46
Like I said, she does remember having these like I would say falls.
02:50
She doesn't have a complete loss of consciousness or doesn't have like these lapses of events that she doesn't remember falling.
02:58
It just remembers kind of briefly falling asleep.
03:03
As far as her pupils are prone, she has moved launch companies equally involved, really narrowly attached, making it a free pass.
03:11
She currently has a heart rate of sixty-six, able to monitor it, which is normal for her.
03:16
And then she has a current blood or our initial blood pressure was sixty-five over forty-two.
03:21
Sixty-five over forty-two.
