UAB, there's like 4 or 5. We're inbound with a 36-year-old male patient coming out of Walker County.
00:05
NBC, where he collided with the back of a vehicle patient,
00:13
was fairly calm when we first got there, and then the fentanyl they gave him, began to war off. He became more competitive.
00:20
He was administered 300 of ketamine for combatantation.
00:25
He has no major life-threathing injuries complaining most... We have back pain, no crepitant, nothing they could find on assessment.
00:33
He did have a crack to his helmet to the back.
00:42
Currently,
00:43
the patient is sedated.
00:48
Additional GCS is 14 for confusion.
00:51
Heart rate currently is 113, showing his back on the monitor.
00:55
Last blood pressure... was 189 over 112, 189 over 112. Redbrains, they're 28 currently, and Title CS2 is 34, with no-2sat of 100% on 4-leaders Fundable cannula.
01:08
We're working on getting a blood sugar for you right now.
01:11
And we have about a 16, 16116 at ECA.
01:25
I mean, um, do you hear me?
01:28
Yeah, I got combative back pain and what else, what kind of injury? Okay, um,
01:36
he was, he was...
01:37
Let me ask a question to them real quick. Here is that 4.5. Is this patient the one that was thrown over 200 feet when they off their motorcycle?
01:52
Part I didn't hear, but I might nurse the saying, yes, that is the same patient.
01:58
Okay,
01:59
good copy.
02:00
The TCCID for that patient is (number withheld).
02:07
All right, so UAB, it's a 30C patrol mail that was on a motorcycle.
02:12
He rear-ended a vehicle and was thrown.
02:17
He's got back pain and head pain, so the abrasion is all over.
02:22
Was confused, slightly combative.
02:25
At first,
02:26
from what I understand,
02:27
they gave him fentany off, that war off, then he got more combative. He's gotten 300 ketamine for sedation,
02:35
and then the vitals he gave, you just... Yeah.
02:38
No, so I guess he's a G73 now, right? He's initially G714,
02:43
if he's sedated.
02:45
I don't... I don't... they never shared about...
02:48
Here back 45 are you still there? Is he used? All right.
02:54
AWGCS is about 12 right now to withdrawing for pain on stimulation.
03:00
Eyes open to pain.
03:06
Okay, yeah,
03:08
he's not sedated to innovation, he's just, they're sedated for him being combative.
03:14
Sounds good.
03:15
Is he a two?
03:18
Yes.
03:20
