00:00
I'm going to have a 38-year-old female.
00:02
She's supposed to be right-side of abdominal pain after a motor bay block.
00:06
How are you?
00:09
You said 38-year-old female?
00:14
That's correct.
00:15
38-year-old female, she's conscious to alert, recording the attempt for her.
00:18
She was the unrestrained driver of a 5-5-5.
00:24
She was traveling only about 10 miles per hour, made a sharp turn to try to avoid a vehicle.
00:30
The side-by-side did overturn.
00:35
She self-extricated prior to our arrival.
00:40
Controls at any neckline.
00:41
Okay, go ahead.
00:43
There is no head, neck, or back injury, but is complaining of some pain right underneath her right-sided ribs.
00:49
She has some superficial abrasions to the right foot.
00:52
These have been turned over a while, robes have been completely clear.
00:55
Medics transport and Category 2.
00:57
We're clear, available command terminate.
00:59
I copy a medic 8 transporting cat 2 1651, otherwise trauma assessment is unremarkable.
01:06
Current vitals: blood pressure 112 over 68, heart rate of 106, she's signed his tag on the monitor fighting 99% on room air, respiration rate 22 even non-labored.
01:19
You have a little bit guarding to that part of her abdomen, otherwise pelvis is stable, lungs are cleared equal bilaterally.
01:28
And we'll be there in probably about 15 minutes.
01:31
Do you have any questions or orders for me?
01:34
So you said they were going 10 miles per hour.
01:37
Were they in a car or like an ATV?
01:41
Side by side, select an ATV with a rollover on it.
01:48
And you said it did roll over?
01:56
It overturned onto its passenger side.
01:59
She reports that she was going 10 miles an hour, but she was also on Highway 78.
02:07
She's guarding the abdomen.
02:09
Any bruising to the abdomen?
02:16
No bruising.
02:17
Like I said, she is guarding a little bit and it's definitely tender on palpation.
02:26
I don't think a trauma will be inappropriate here just so she can get a CT rather quickly, but I don't know that assessment itself warrants it, but if you want to do it on a mechanism.
02:40
Tappy, we'll see you when you get here.
02:43
We'll kind of just assess the patient when y'all get here.
02:47
We'll get here. We'll be soon.
02:49
Love you, bye.
