This patient called tonight for an elevated heart rate and anxiety with the history of spina bifida and frequent UTIs, possibly currently experiencing a UTI which has caused a panic attack tonight.

For the past two hours, the patient has been experiencing a high heart rate and has attempted to calm himself on his own without medications, just keep breathing and sitting and drinking water.

Those attempts have been unsuccessful. We currently have a heart rate of 160, sinus tach, 12. We chose sinus tach as well. It's been fluctuating between 130 and 160.

We have 94% on supplemental oxygen right now.

We're breathing about 16 times a minute, nice big deep breath.

We're getting IV access right now.

I would like to give Versed for Inc. Dialysis 2.5 if that's okay with you. Any questions?
01:01
That's fine. As long as he's going to be transported, I'd be concerned that may be septic or something else going on. So as long as you're going to be transported, that's fine.
01:10
Why don't you start with one milligram of first and then in five minutes and that doesn't help? You can give one more milligrams.
01:18
Copy that. We are initiating transport at this time. We'll do one milligram and then one milligram. Are we approved for intramuscular? Institution is a difficult disease.

Yeah, if you can't get IV access, 2.5, it's fine. I am.
01:38
Just confirming 2.5 intramuscular?
