00:00
We have a 73-year-old male patient with a clogged G-tube around 0930.
00:06
Everything seems normal except for his blood sugar is at 81.
00:10
We are BLS, just curious if we're allowed to take him or if we should upgrade to ALS.
00:18
What the patient called 911 for? Is the patient symptomatic?
00:22
Power of the patient's vitals?
00:25
Patient's vitals are 102 over 59, heart rate of 69, six respirations 96,
00:36
temp 98.4, and of course that 81 plus isn't showing any real symptoms of hypoglycemia at this moment.
00:47
And how many patients do you have in place?
00:50
Facility wanted him to be sent out for a G-tube, the clogged G-tube.
00:55
They attempted to clear it but were unable to.
00:58
I copy and what's your ETA to the nearest?
01:02
What's your ETA to where you're wanting to transport?
01:06
It's about a 15-minute drive and we haven't even gone them on the journey as of yet.
01:17
Where are you guys transporting to?
01:20
Facility wants Grossmont, which is about a twenty-five minute drive.
01:25
Or we can go to our nearest facility, which is about 15 min .
01:33
And he said sugar is eighty-one eight one.
01:36
Copy. Yes, eight one.
01:40
I think if the patient is not at their baseline orientation, not showing any signs of being hypoglycemic,
01:48
I think it is fine for them to transport to Grossmont.
01:53
Copy. We'll transport to Grossmont .
01:56
Do you have a run number and not give them a call?
