(Sorry for that short post almost had a heart attack when the fire tones dropped while posting, but not my run.)
*I check the patients vitals while waiting for Doug to get us going. I get B/P is 110/80, Pulse 80, Resp. 16. Pt. seems to be resting comfortably.*
"RA-1 to ETC"
"ETC go ahead RA-1."
"ETC, RA-1 is enroute to your facility with a 30 y/o male, c/c of neck pain. Pt. had severe pain in neck and back. We have the patinet fully immbolized with C-Collar and long spine board. Upon arrival patient was stable with vitals within normal limits. After loading the patient into our truck, pt. experienced an episode of SVT, with vitals being: Pulse 170, B/p 90/50, Resp. 35. After Versed and MS, we cardioverted once with return to Sinus Rythm. Pt. states no medications, but does have a history of WPW. We have him sedated, with current vitals being, B/P 110/80, Pulse 80, Resp. 16. Pt. is currently disoreinted due to meds, and is resting. We request that a truma team meet us due to a possible C2-C3 fracture. Do you require any further?"
"ETC to RA-1, Take him to Truama 1 upon arrival."
"RA-1 copies."
'Truama 1 when we get there, Doug.'
