Good evening, this is Medic 8878.
00:03
We're out here with a 47-year-old male, unknown downtime and cardiac arrest, CPR in progress.
00:10
Three rounds of epinephrine have been given, bicarb has been given,
00:17
D50 has been given.
00:19
Sugar was 40 .
00:22
Looking for any other interventions that I should do or looking for time of death.
00:31
Been working on them.
00:34
Correct, we are still working on them.
00:37
How long have you been?
00:40
About thirty-five minutes.
00:43
Okay, the whole time.
00:46
Asystole, currently in asystole the whole time, no shockable rhythm.
00:51
Yeah, like when he was found down.
00:57
Unknown downtime.
01:00
Called because he's been working on him for 35 minutes, but he had to have been down before then.
01:05
Correct, I would guess probably 50,
01:10
45, 50 minutes downtime roughly.
01:14
Do we have a repeat sugar on him after the D50?
01:21
10-4, it is 40 and has remained 40 the whole time.
01:28
And pupils are fixed and dilated.
01:33
Correct.
01:36
And like, how is who found him down?
01:40
I apologize.
01:41
We're out at the Gardens of Winsted.
01:43
Nursing staff found him unresponsive when they came in to do their rounds.
01:49
Patient's voluntarily will be here for rehab for an infection.
01:55
Okay.
01:56
Well, I would say that I am okay with you discontinuing care.
02:02
Once you get to the point where you're confident, it's been at least 50 minutes that he's been down.
02:08
Nursing staff stated the last time his last known well was was roughly an hour ago.
02:14
Patient is mortally obese.
02:15
He will not fit in Lucas.
02:17
Manual CPR is in progress.
02:21
Sounds good.
02:22
So at that point the time of death would be 9:55 p.m.
02:26
Copy that. Time of death 9:55.
