Mount Nittany Medical Center, Paramedic 2418 for command.
00:05
On Indian 2418, I was talking to Dr.
00:07
Plansky there.
00:08
She's still available there?
00:10
One moment, and I'll get medical command.
00:15
Please, Plinsky.
00:18
And Dr. Poliskey is dead 2418 again.
00:21
I'm not sure I want you copy of that report.
00:23
Did you copy that he was changing mental status pretty quickly? He was fell in event this morning.
00:29
What all did you copy?
00:31
I thought that he had the change in mental status and then I heard you say he's basically unresponsive and then the line went in.
00:40
Okay, yeah,
00:41
he's not responsive now.
00:43
He said, you go out of bed this morning.
00:45
They said the BLS family was kind of alert somewhat talking to him and his mental status decreased pretty rapidly.
00:51
He said right now he's essentially unresponsive.
00:53
He does have posturing,
00:55
some snowy respirations.
00:57
Vital signs are kind of holding pretty stable, blood pressure 133 over 82.
01:01
He saturates 98%.
01:03
BLSA initially for them, he was in the 80s.
01:06
Heart rhythm is the slightest rhythm with the rate about a...
01:09
100,
01:10
blood sugar with 195, he doesn't have a history of diabetes.
01:13
Like I said, he is on Zarolto as well.
01:15
I'm going to show if you caught that or not.
01:17
You have an IV established,
01:18
and we're transported, we'll probably be that in about 10 minutes or so.
01:22
Let's show you like what trauma alert or what your thoughts are.
01:27
I mean, does he seem to be protecting his airway? I mean, it sounds a little bit concerning.
01:32
He's not protecting his airway.
01:34
How far away are you? Sorry.
01:36
We're about 10 minutes, but you say it does have some story-fite respirations and however he is maintaining saturations with that is 98%.
01:44
Just due to our short ETA, I think I have to hold off on the airway control at this point.
01:49
It sounds like he is going to get excited when he gets here.
01:52
Do we know his code status? Like, did he come from home?
01:57
He did come from his own personal home.
01:59
I'm not too sure on the code status for them.
02:01
We do have family following us, though.
02:05
Yeah, he's probably going to be trauma alert and need to get included.
02:10
So we'll see in one of the big Chama days.
02:13
Okay, sounds good.
02:14
We'll see in about 10 minutes, then.
02:17
Okay, thank you.
