00:00
Good evening, St. Joe's. This is HVA Alpha Eighty-One Twenty-Five currently en route to you for an 82-year-old female coming in today.
00:14
With a possible syncopal episode, as well as some reported trauma to the left arm.
00:21
She was at a physical therapy appointment, had a hypoglycemic event during her therapy, took some oral glucose tablets while she was still there,
00:31
finished out her therapy and walked out of the parking lot.
00:34
Apparently collapsed between two vehicles in the parking lot.
00:39
Was found by a passerby.
00:41
She's reporting that her left arm was run over by a car while she was lying in the parking lot.
00:49
Was possibly on the ground for 15 minutes max according to the physical therapy staff.
00:55
She is alert, oriented.
00:58
She is slowly answering.
01:00
Last sugar we got was 67.
01:03
That's trending upwards on her CGM as well.
01:08
I do not see any external trauma to her left arm.
01:12
She is complaining of significant pain in that arm with any movement.
01:18
For the rest of her vitals, I got a heart rate in the 90s, sinus on the monitor.
01:23
12-lead was unremarkable.
01:24
Currently 98% on room air.
01:26
Last pressure up 151 over 95.
01:29
That is 151 over 95.
01:34
We'll have an ETA of probably ten to you.
01:36
Do you require anything further at this point?
01:39
Any idea how fast the car was going that ran her over, her arm over?
01:48
She was lying between two parking spots.
01:51
Both vehicles are parked when we got there.
01:54
The car that was on her left side,
01:58
that would have been the one that ran over that arm, the individual who was driving that car was a caller who came out of a store and found her lying between them.
02:05
So the story that she got run over isn't making sense based off of how we found her, but that's what she's reporting.
02:11
I don't have any in song that passed her reporting that her arm got run over.
02:16
Okay, and can you repeat her GCS? And what was the sugar again?
02:23
Last sugar we got was sixty-seven.
02:25
Her CGM says it's going up.
02:27
I just haven't rechecked another one yet.
02:29
It was down in the forties during her actual PT appointment.
02:32
And she has GCS of 15.
02:34
She's just a little bit slow to answer.
02:38
Yeah, he'll be there on arrival.
