235, MD-10 is Paramedic Kelly.
00:02
I'm on scene here.
00:03
A (name withheld),
00:05
she's the victim of a dog attack today.
00:09
She was also knocked off of a bicycle by this dog.
00:14
She is currently awake alert and oriented GCS 15, last blood pressure 192, 192 over 107, heart rate 94, 98% on room air respirations are 24.
00:29
The reason for destination is she has a nearly complete amputation to the left fifth toe, her pinky toe, if you will.
00:45
I'm not certain if this is going to be a salvageable injury or if I'm taking her to a local hospital to complete amputation there and treat it at a local hospital is going to be appropriate for her.
01:01
We are maybe five minutes from Mease Dunedin Hospital.
01:06
We're probably looking at 35 to 45 minutes to Tampa General, unless you have any other thoughts.
01:15
From what you described on the fifth toe, I would say you could probably go to just a local hospital.
01:22
If they have an issue, then they can transfer.
01:25
But I think they ought to be able to handle it.
01:27
Yeah,
01:29
it's hanging on by maybe a centimeter of skin.
01:34
And I did tell her that she's likely going to lose the toe from this.
01:39
Understood.
01:40
We'll proceed to be stunned even the hospital then.
01:44
It seems to be okay with that destination as well, just given all the information.
01:50
Thank you for your time, ma'am.
