So we're going to have a 92-year-old female, chief complaint of shortness of breath, arrived on scene to a private residence near National City to find our patient laying in bed.
00:15
According to family members, sounds like the patient had a productive cough for the last two days.
00:20
They've noticed that she's had increasing shortness of breath.
00:23
She's oriented times two, bed bound.
00:24
Sounds like she's got multiple illnesses and is on comfort measures only as far as DNR.
00:32
Sounds like she wasn't having any improvement with her shortness of breath and had some audible lung sounds this morning, so they activated 911.
00:38
As far as the patient upon arrival, she's oriented times two, which is her baseline.
00:42
Initially, she was laying supine, so there was a moderate work of breathing and we could hear an expiratory wheeze.
00:46
After we sat her up, the breathing became minimal and her oxygen saturation was 92% on room air.
00:51
She still has that expiratory wheeze and some lung sounds on the right side.

We did do a 12V, confirmed AFib.

No AC, H, or X to B.

Other than that, as far as treatment, she received albuterol via nebulizer at six liters a minute.

She's having improvement with that.
01:28
The wheezes are starting to become diminished.

I'm just looking for some IV access.
