8151 Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 O2 via NRB@12-15lpm, Large bore IV of Ringers. Stat to level-1 trauma hospital.
NREMT-Basic Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Did anyone ask her if she can try to qualify how she "just doesnt feel right?" If she feels dizzy and nauseous, thats a different presentation than if she says that she feels as if she is struggling to stay awake. Lets not hear horses and think zebras. I also agree with 15 LPM and assess in 10 minutes on scene before transport. Also see where she is on the Cinncinati Stroke Scale.
