00:00
Christian, this is paramedic 2130, 2133 off of highway two.
00:03
It's going to be a volunteer facility.
00:04
They need you to pass on over to labor and delivery.
00:09
How do you copy my transmission?
00:13
Uh,
00:14
you just previously said I heard labor and delivery and that was about it, but Christian on the base got it.
00:21
We're here en route to labor and delivery with a seven-day-old neonate who presented with choking to her mom after seizing.
00:32
For us, she's very lethargic and did have cyanosis through the lift for about 6 seconds.
00:38
She was in an ICU just released after she aspirated during birth.
00:47
Family requested for her to be transported back to the NICU.
00:50
I just wanted to see if you could get a hold of Labor and Delivery or the NICU to see if that was possible.
00:55
If not, we will just redirect to Nemours.
01:00
Vital signs are as follows.
01:02
She is 145 to 160.
01:06
Last.
01:09
Last one partially we got was 106 over 65,
01:12
and she was 97% on some blood by oxygen.
01:15
Like I said, she's very lethargic.
01:17
Lung sounds has an intermittent expiratory wheezing.
01:23
And her respiratory rate seems to be within normal limits at this time for her age.
01:27
Again, just asking for a consult with labor delivery slash the NICU.
01:32
How far are you guys out from Christiana here at Newark?
01:38
Christiana, we're about 8 min.
01:41
Yeah, I would.
01:42
I understand they're, you know, lethargic.
01:44
Patient probably better served at Nemours.
01:47
I don't know what direction they're specifically coming from or if Nemours would be a longer distance and how long it is a question.
01:54
But I think given the, you know,
01:56
they did have to make you stay here.
01:57
But again, it's probably going to be an immediate transfer if they're describing they're pretty lethargic and stuff.
02:02
Is there significant difference in transport than Nemours?
02:06
We agree with that decision to just transport straight to Nemours.
02:10
We're going to go ahead and do that.
02:12
Thank you for your consult.
