Scripps La Jolla Medic Thirty Three.
00:02
Medic Thirty Three, go ahead.
00:05
Hey La Jolla, Medic Thirty Three here got a mild status medical aid looking to head over to Pomerado.
00:09
Last four of the run number is going to be (number withheld), looking at about a five-minute ETA.
00:15
Copy that.
00:16
All right, La Jolla.
00:17
So Medic 33 arrived on scene to a skilled nursing facility for a 71-year-old female today.
00:22
Chief complaint is going to be abnormal behavior.
00:25
The staff stated that the patient began acting abnormal to her baseline throughout this afternoon and became concerned, activating 911 due to her history of medical problems.
00:37
Sounds like she has a history of dementia.
00:38
Normally she is alert to person and place, but today she was unable to answer questions and was trying to bite and eat objects around the room.
00:52
They gave her food to try to help, but she tried to eat some of the medical equipment.
00:57
So just again, real abnormal behavior for the patient.
01:00
During assessment, her blood sugar was found to be 374.
01:04
That was our only abnormal finding.
01:05
Normal vital signs for her today.
01:09
The patient's breathing approximately 18 to 20 times a minute.
01:14
She is satting 96% on room air.
01:17
She's alert and oriented for us.
01:19
That seems to be around her baseline.
01:23
Eyes are reactive and she's moving all extremities appropriately; negative stroke scale.
01:28
The last blood pressure we got was 129 over 76.
01:31
She has sinus rhythm on the monitor, rate of 82.
01:34
Temperature is 96.8.
01:38
We'll have a history of her medications upon arrival.
01:40
As far as treatment goes, we administered 5 mg of medication intramuscularly in her right deltoid.
01:45
She was combative and attempted to bite responders while on scene.
01:51
Outside of that, we tried for a line.
01:53
Unfortunately, we were unable to establish one.
01:55
Otherwise, we did not provide any other treatment at this time.
01:59
With that being said, is there anything else I can get for you to clear this picture up?
02:03
No, copy that. Would you mind just repeating the blood glucose?
02:06
Of course, blood sugar for us was 374.
02:10
Thanks so much for repeating.
02:12
I will call Pomerado and give them a heads up.
