Transcript:
I have a patient, a 77-year-old male with initials (name withheld). A patient should be known to them. My goals are as follows. Heart rate 71. Blood pressure 113 over 70. MAP of 84, and that is a cuff pressure. Arterial line pressure of 88 systolic, MAP of 64, end tidal CO2 23, SpO2 95. Patient is on a balloon pump, and on heparin and levo. No change in patient condition at this time. We have about a 22-minute ETA. Just roughly 22 minutes out, a patient with a heart rate of 71, blood pressure 113 over 70, MAP of 84 at the cuff pressure, arterial pressure of 88 systolic, MAP of 64, end tidal CO2 23, SpO2 95. Patient is on a balloon pump, also has heparin and levo, no changes in condition. Additional help requested by medical staff upon landing; we've got a lot of equipment due to the balloon pump and would really appreciate medical staff not security to help us if that's possible. Understood, it will request additional medical staff on the pad to assist with unloading.
