Hi, this is Upper Valley.
00:10
Oh, a 71-year-old female.
00:16
She's a patient with multiple health issues.
00:19
Uh,
00:21
patient.
00:24
Because this happened approximately three years ago, family advised,
00:30
that she was affected by a stroke-like event at that time.
00:35
However, that was ruled inconclusive.
00:37
All right now, patient's alert. She's a little lethargic.
00:42
Good skin condition, good radial pulse. Pulse is rapid. Right now she's tracking at about 185.
00:48
I'm working on drawing up some adenosine for her.
00:53
She keeps going between a rate of about 185. She'll spike out for about two minutes and then she'll jump down to a rate of 500 with three-foot PVCs.
01:02
I did a 12 lead. I did not notice anything obvious for ST-segment elevation or depression.
01:08
Oxygen is good.
01:09
Temperature's good, 98.3, end tidal of 35.
01:14
I guess that I'm working on drawing up some adenosine right now and I'll give some of that to her.
01:18
And if you have any further orders, we'll see her in about three minutes.
01:26
Thank you, Troy Willis. Signed in room on arrival. UVMC out.
