Transcript:
00:00
Dr. Warren, good evening.
00:01
This is Paramedic Hall, with unit number (number withheld).
00:04
Currently on scene with a 13-year-old male.
00:09
The chief complaint tonight was a light syncope episode, or maybe not fully loss of consciousness,
00:15
secondary to having a fever.
00:18
A brief story, the patient has been having a fever all day today.
00:22
Parents are on scene.
00:23
They informed me that they took the temperature and it was at 99 degrees and approximately one hour later,
00:28
it rose to 104.
00:30
They had him wrapped up in a coat.
00:32
I've explained to them that it was most likely a febrile seizure just momentarily.
00:37
The patient at this time is GCS-15, A.N.O.
00:40
Times 4. He states that he's returned to his baseline, just those febrile symptoms, just feeling sore.
00:47
Vitals are as follows, 97 on the heart rate at room air.
00:51
He states he's very anxious and his heart rate is at 149.
00:56
I'm trying to obtain a blood pressure, my monitor hasn't responded.
00:59
I took a blood sugar as well.
01:00
It's 146.
01:02
As far as I understand, there's no other previous medical history with this patient.
01:07
I would explain to the family that they can have us bring him to the hospital if they want to.
01:11
They can send us on the way and they can bring him or they can call us back.
01:14
I was just curious now if you have any other input before they refuse services on this.
01:20
No, I think that's fine.
01:21
I think just encourage maybe something for fever control.
01:24
That'll likely bring that heart rate down and hydration, and they're always welcome to come in just like you said.
01:31
My name is Warren.
01:32
W-A-R-R-E-N.
01:36
We've advised the pediatric dose of Tylenol,
01:40
maybe a little electrolyte drink, and some water, hydration,
01:43
and other measures to keep the patient comfortable.
01:47
I appreciate your help.
01:49
I'll go ahead and sign off unless you have anything further.
01:53
No problem, thank you.
01:56
All right, clear 9115, clear of the air.
