Medics 32, this is Sharp.
00:05
Hey, Sharp Memorial.
00:06
This is Mediak 32.
00:07
I have a potential stroke code, depending on how you want to run it.
00:11
Going to Sharp Grossmont, approximately 10-minute ETA.
00:14
Our number's going to be (number withheld).
00:17
The response is open to accept, and you're clear for the story.
00:20
Okay, copy.
00:21
Grossmont, open for a stroke.
00:23
So I have a 77-year-old male who is bedbound due to his previous stroke in 2015.
00:31
He has marked right-sided deficits and speech difficulty at baseline.
00:38
According to nephew or grandson who's caretaker, he's been normal at 11:30,
00:45
put him to bed for a nap, woke him up at 13:10.
00:50
and noticed he was having a little bit of difficulty speaking along with some difficulty swallowing,
00:56
and he used to have a facial droop on the right side that was kind of different from anything you'd ever seen before.
01:03
Other than that right now, the patient is alert, responsive, speaking at baseline,
01:08
has had no sensory changes to the current deficit, so equal, the strength
01:14
has not changed in any way.
01:17
Vitals as follows: heart rate 66, blood pressure 123 over 70, oxygen saturation 90 on room air, blood glucose of 180,
01:24
and a temperature of 98.1.
01:26
So yeah, the only thing different right now, now that you're talking to us again, is that,
01:31
a caretaker is saying his face is drooping more than normal, but daughter is saying that he's seen his face like this before.
01:36
So we can make this a stroke activation if it's appropriate.
01:39
If not, we can continue to 30 to Grossmont.
01:41
What's your e-fass?
01:45
So, it's just facial droop.
01:47
Everything else is at baseline for the patient.
01:50
I think because this is potentially new, and the last thing normal was earlier today, we should make this stroke code just to be safe.
02:00
Copy that. Thank you, Sharp.
02:02
What did you say your ETA was? That's going to be about 10 minutes.
