56-0.1 paramedic Ben. We're in route from Boulder Park Terrace with an 81-year-old male, vomited large quantity of coffee ground material this morning, initially called for low blood pressure but has not been hypotensive for us at all. Last blood pressure was actually high, 206 over 166. Heart rate is slightly elevated on the monitor, sinus rhythm on the 12 lead at 106. Respirations are clear, non-labored, and pulse oximetry is good, setting at 90% on room air. Capillary refill is slightly delayed but within normal limits. We do have him on nasal cannula at two liters, setting at 95%. Blood glucose 171, 78.1 oral. Go ahead, 51. Drop off Steve and I'm... Okay. Ten four on your friends. You can come back. Ten four, heading that way. Patient has a history of advanced dementia, pretty much nonverbal but compliant. Skin is warm and dry. We have established IV access. We're roughly ten minutes out. If nothing further, we'll see you then. Please just hand you about four. Go ahead.
