Special consideration, going to Sharp Memorial.
00:04
Run number 2026 , 045617 .
00:07
Eighty nine year old female.
00:09
Story is right on scene, Lantern Crest Independent Living Facility.
00:13
Fire patient, she was kind of seated upright next to her bed, carpeted surface.
00:17
Sounds like she was standing up from the toilet, got pretty lightheaded, fell down, hit her head.
00:21
She was able to crawl to where we found her.
00:25
Her phone call 911 .
00:28
She's orientated times four for us.
00:30
Speaking of complete sentences, not really 100 % clear on any kind of LOC.
00:35
Doesn't really seem like it. She gave us a pretty clear description of what happened,
00:39
but she's a little bit fuzzy after she stood up.
00:41
She did say that she got pretty late headed there and just a little bit fuzzy about that part.
00:45
But she knew she fell and she hit her head.
00:49
Otherwise, denying any kind of neck or back pain.
00:51
Sounds like she did have a fall recently, about a month ago.
00:54
So it's the daughter, and that led to some sort of hemorrhagic bleed.
01:00
It sounds like she wasn't able to give me too many details.
01:04
So we did find a old laceration on the back of her head.
01:09
As far as a new trauma, though, small hematoma on kind of the occipital region of the right side of her head.
01:17
Otherwise, we're not seeing any other altered signs of trauma.
01:19
Vitals are all within normal limits.
01:21
We're just going to do modified SpO2, reassessment as far as treatment.
01:24
Not anticipating anything further.
01:25
ETA to Sharp Memorial is probably about 15 min .
01:28
Copy.
01:31
I copy that.
01:33
You said she had a full thickness laceration above her skull.
01:35
Is that from the old fall or is that from tonight?
01:41
That's from the old fall.
01:42
It's clearly like an older wound there.
01:45
As far as new though, it was a hematoma, like kind of like occipital region, right side of her head.
01:50
But that was an old finding.
01:55
You might have said that I might have missed it.
01:57
Is she on thinners?
01:59
She was on thinners and no longer.
02:06
It sounds like she was pulled off of the thinners.
02:10
Yeah, it sounds good.
02:11
Stand by while I give a call.
