Hey, we're 319, Centerpoint patient info.

00:03

Good morning, sir.

00:04

Boy, once again, this is AMR 319 .

00:06

We're about 10 min out with an eighty-four year old male.

00:09

Eighty-four year old male

00:10

whose chief complaint today is a mechanical fall at his nursing home.

00:13

This fall was unwitnessed.

00:15

They stated it was mechanical.

00:17

The patient's altered baseline as dementia, so I can't get quite accurate information out of him.

00:22

Complaining of some neck pain, so we have him in a C-collar.

00:26

He has a hematoma on his right temple and he has some right-sided shoulder pain from the fall.

00:33

He is, like I said, altered at baseline, so his GCS is about 14.

00:39

Vitals are as follows: 95 for the heart rate, 96 on room air, 154

00:45

over 84 for the blood pressure, and then a blood sugar of 100.

00:49

He is on hospice.

00:50

We spoke. With the hospice nurse, and she tried to talk to the DPOA, and I guess it's protocol that he be transported regardless.

00:59

But then that he's resting in the cot.

01:00

I don't have anything for you, so if you don't have anything for me, we'll see you in ten.
