Milwaukee County WI EMS-Talk

I have a case number F2611120014 .
00:08
Fifty-eight year old male.
00:10
Chief complaint is altered.
00:12
We were called here for an alarm sounding and they found him in his apartment and he was pretty much just sitting in smoke and.
00:28
They tried to ask him what happened.
00:31
He was unable to answer.
00:33
Still isn't able to give us a clear answer.
00:36
He's 803, GCS is 15,
00:41
but he's still kind of unable to answer some of those questions.
00:45
Vitals are all within normal limits.
00:47
104 over 70, 90 on the pulse.
00:52
Blood sugar is 114, respirations are 18.
00:56
We're unable to get a clear history.
00:59
He says he has hypertension, but we aren't sure what's true or what's not true.
01:06
We are worried about some of the smoke inhalation because he was sitting for so long in there, but it's unclear if he was having a medical emergency prior to getting there.
01:16
We are about 12 min out.
01:19
Any other questions?
01:22
18, do you have a pulse ox? Were you able to get a rad reading off of him? And can you be more specific about the smoke? Was this like a heavy structure fire, a smoky oven?
01:34
So it was burnt food.
01:37
We aren't really able to get much of anything.
01:41
We do have him sitting at 99 on SpO2.
01:46
I put him on two liters just because.
01:50
But it doesn't seem to be an oxygenation problem as far as we're seeing.
01:57
Copy, I'll roll up the rad reading then.
01:59
And then do you have a last known well time? Were you able to do a stroke assessment on him as well?
02:04
We were unable to do.
02:07
Well, he just followed command sort of, and he came back negative for the stroke assessment.
02:14
Last known well, we are unable to get because he's the only one in his apartment.
02:19
He did say that he had alcohol today, unclear of how much, but that's all we could get out of him.
02:26
Copy, thanks for the addition.
02:28
I'll notify St.
02:29
Luke's ETA. I'll mark down to ten.
