00:00
Good afternoon, this is Medic 4, Paramedic 2118.
00:02
I'm en route to your facility, approximate 15-minute ETA with a 72-year-old female, altered mental status.
00:07
How do you copy?
00:09
Loud and clear, go ahead.
00:13
72-year-old female has been called for diabetic issues.
00:17
Patient is a known diabetic upon arrival.
00:21
She does appear altered, but her glucose is fine.
00:25
150 on a BiPAP monitor, 140 on mine.
00:28
We've checked it three different times from monitors.
00:30
It's right around that same number, 312.
00:33
Right now she's alert to person.
00:37
Otherwise, she is confused.
00:39
She's having some receptive aphasia too and not able to follow commands.
00:42
Unable to tell me what year it is or who the president is.
00:47
All signs, heart rate's 108, 98% on room air.
00:50
Blood pressure is 190 over 80.
00:54
Last seen all around 9 a.m. this morning.
00:58
Due to no change in her altered mental status and high blood pressure, I didn't know if you wanted a stroke alert upon our arrival or stroke eval when we get there.
01:14
Stand by for any further questions or orders.
01:17
Also, we're not noticing facial droop or any drift or other stroke-like symptoms.
01:22
Just the receptive aphasia and increased confusion.
01:28
Copy that. Use words of clarify.
01:31
So the patient's last known well was 9 a.m. this morning.
01:35
Was this a wakeup stroke or possible wakeup stroke? Or was she actually seen normal before 9 a.m.?
01:42
Doesn't relate to that.
01:43
She was normal prior to 9 a.m. They had breakfast. She used the restroom on her own.
01:50
Copy that. I think we can do a stroke eval on arrival given that the last known well was 9 a.m., and she seemed normal before that, so we'll do an eval on arrival.
02:00
This is 966 standing by for any questions or concerns.
02:04
No questions here, 962.
02:06
We'll see you in a bit.
02:07
Medic 4 clear.
