Not official report. AI-generated from public dispatch audio. Always verify with official sources.

Emergency medical staff report that a 59-year-old man with a tracheostomy has likely aspirated a significant amount of food, which is coming out of his tracheostomy. Staff had not seen him for a short time and then found him with altered mental status and low oxygen levels in the low seventies on room air. He has a history of allergies. Paramedics are providing care, establishing an intravenous line, checking his blood sugar, and transporting him to the hospital, where they request respiratory therapy for deeper suctioning of his airway.
