Baltimore County Paramedic 54,
00:04
en route to your facility with about a three-minute ETA for a possible stroke alert.
00:12
How do you copy so far?
00:14
I copy.
00:18
All right, patient's a 70-year-old female.
00:20
She is alert and oriented times four with a GCS of 15 at this time.
00:24
Does report some cerebellar symptoms of balance issues, nausea, vomiting, dizziness with room spinning.
00:30
Patient did report that symptoms began on Wednesday morning with a last known well before she went to bed at 2 a.m.
00:38
Now patient is saying there was a period of time before that episode and the episode that started this morning with a last known well.
00:46
When she went to bed last night, so I guess, and this is new information.
00:53
I would have consulted earlier.
00:56
Currently, blood pressure 100 and fifty-eight over sixty-eight, pulse is seventy-four, respirations are 18 , blood sugar is 100 and eighty-four.
01:04
Cincinnati is negative.
01:07
She does report eye cloudiness since Wednesday.
01:12
Also, and we'll be there in just a couple of minutes.
01:18
Okay, 54, just to clarify, so we're saying that the last known well was Wednesday at 2 a.m.
01:25
So outside of the 24-hour surge alert window, is that, are we, are we clear on that?
01:34
Right, so yes, originally the last known well was 2 a.m.
01:39
on the 21st, and I did verify that information with the patient several times.
01:45
And now the patient is just now telling me that those symptoms resolved from that episode, and she felt better.
01:51
And then it happened again this morning when she woke up.
01:55
So I guess a new last known well would be 2 a.m.
01:58
this morning, is what she's now saying.
02:02
This is a council.
02:03
Council necessary.
02:04
We'll send it upon arrival.
02:05
Bring the 1st one.
