Christiana, all of Medic Nine on scene.
00:01
I have a twenty-seven year old female.
00:03
She's four months pregnant and had a seizure.
00:04
How do you copy?
00:07
Loud and clear, go ahead.
00:09
She had a seizure witnessed by family.
00:13
She was displaying seizure-like activity upon EMS arrival.
00:16
We have since administered medication which has stopped the seizure activity.
00:23
Doesn't sound like she's been diagnosed with a seizure disorder.
00:26
She reports having one other seizure in her entire life.
00:29
This was four months ago, right before she became pregnant.
00:37
Currently, she is awake, alert, lethargic, but answering questions appropriately.
00:43
Following treatment, heart rate of 106, sinus tachycardia.
00:47
She is ninety-two percent.
00:51
We have her on supplemental oxygen.
00:53
Most recent pressure of 148 over 90.
00:58
Looking for input on administering magnesium and transporting direct to OB triage.
01:04
Is there anybody for questions or concerns?
01:08
Four months pregnant,
01:11
Eclampsia is generally not a concern, but can you tell me her blood pressure?
01:18
Oh, that pressure just came back 132 over 70.
01:22
I do not feel magnesium is necessary at this time given she is four months pregnant under 20 weeks,
01:30
She is not hypertensive and should not be at risk of eclampsia at this time.
01:35
She should be okay to go to OB triage. If anything changes or she becomes more acute, bring her in.
01:51
Certainly bring her here.
01:53
Obviously, we will be happy to see her.
01:58
Okay, so report direct to OB triage.
02:00
We're going to hold off on magnesium.
02:02
Can I get your doc number one more time?
02:06
This is Doc (number withheld).
02:08
He's fine, actually just hang on the line.
02:11
I am just going to give OB triage a call and confirm.
