Where’s the Dopamine for the hypertension
My sister is a nurse and she got home September 9 2019 with in 5 min my mom was having a stroke. She called 911 and they came and took her to Robert wood Johnson in new Brunswick NJ.
Once at the hospital they treated her but they were 180% over capacity and in my opinion they didn’t treat her right. Needless to say we brought her home because she had Medicare and they would cover hospice. We had to watch her wither away with no fluids or nutrients for 19 days. Between me my sister and step father we did 8 hour shifts giving her morphine and other meds every hour. We are now a broken family. We all have PTSD because i feel that we killed my mom! Get a second opinion because ill live with the regret that we didn’t. I hope this man fared better then my mom.
NO TO SUBLINGUAL NTG!!!!! PATIENT CANNOT MAINTAIN PATENT AIRWAY
Daaaaayyymn so many doctors here in the comments down below. 👏🙄
Chinese heart medicine mixed with posion in coffee or beer somthing it makes blood foam stroke so you have to make them throwing up drank hu grab heart medicine and what they drank put it in cup mix it foams
Aa
shouldnt you not give nitro to someone with a stroke because they may be having a hemorragic stroke?
Watching this makes me grateful for my own health. This can be any of us.
This is not how Paramedics treat patients. Please know there is a distinction and big difference between EMT and Paramedic. EMT are trained technicians, true Paramedics are degree qualified individuals who have a higher theoretical knowledge and educated more extensively on pharmacology, pathophysiology and differential/provisional diagnosis. This depends on what state or country you are in however the standard for Paramedic in many places is a Bachelor of Paramedicine or equivalent, minimum.
Cue all the 1st year "nurses" to start screaming line unstable psych patients that they could’ve done better.
They need better equipment, and she needs a new job.
I was sitting here thinking she was trying for an OPA lol and I guess contraindications dont exist
She should have been getting ready for an advanced airway first & foremost. Giving nitro blindingly was extremely dangerous. This could have been a hemorrhagic stroke & the SBP is sitting @ 170 due to compensated shock from a slower bleed causing those symptoms.
Patient’s head drops off the side & she leaves him there. No IV established (although I’m not sure of the time). Unless he’s hypothermic which I doubt with 170 BP I would’ve personally his shirt off as well. I want to be able to see if his chest is rising on his own, if he’s doing reflexive breathing esp.
I don’t mean to be rude. This was absolutely horrible medical care by her. If she’s an EMT-B there’s not much she can do, but if she is a medic I do not understand the terrible care.
Don’t like this at all
Personally I wouldn’t have bothered with the GTN🤷🏾♂️
This part of this episode really hits home for me , thank God for the first responders, nurses and doctors who have saved my love one’s life. God bless you all❤️
A class mate in high school (had 1 seizure in past week) all of a sudden started making a noise and pointing at her mouth. He friend next to her said she can’t speak and was paranoid. I thought she was faking it she looked normal.
Luckily it was in health class and the health teacher told everyone to move the desks away from her and her friend to help her out if her desk to the floor.
At the same time a student ran to the office to call an ambulance.
Sure enough maybe a min after the dramatic scene she had a full blown seizure and was took away by ambulance. That poor person had like 6 more that year all from falling off a horse a short time earlier.
She did survive and was given medication that prevented them but I felt horrible since I thought it was an act.
Just because someone looks calm but says they can’t do something BELIEVE them.
emt in training here, so when his blood pressure is that high, don’t you have to call medical control to administer nitroglycerin? maybe she did it off camera, but would you even have time to call them in this case?
Signs are obvious that he’s having a stroke and they’re still trying to figure it out
UK paramedic is better that USA thats just the facts 🤷🏾♀️
Why the f*** didnt do something with that poor names head
Dam she know nothing about a dam stoke
Ah yes giving a vasodilator to a potential hemorrhagic stroke. Nothing like making it bleed even more and possibly killing your patient. Not all paramedics are created equal.
she shouldn’t be able to work P/B. She needs another medic to tell her whatever she’s thinking of doing do the opposite. Nitro for a stroke are you serious? Talk about horrible care.
I am really curious if this medic continues working..
do u understnd what i m saying….. no i dont………..lol
No line?? Nitro for a stroke victim.. a CVA with a unknown type, you give NTG for BP. Especially when you have no clue in down time. That’s not a medic that’s a person throwing what ifs
Former medic here- but basics first: not much to do for suspected ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke other than IV, O2, monitor and rapid transport. But never administer oral meds to an unconscious patient. Sublingual nitro can certainly combat hypertension, but only in a patient who is A&O x 3. Also supplemental 02 via cannula should’ve been placed long before leads were placed, and hypoglycemia should’ve been ruled out as a pertinent negative. Remember: medics save lives, but basics save medics.
Yeah this is not good. I can think of a tribunal case here in Australia where paramedic did the same thing and the patient suffered a worse outcome because they gave GTN. They didn’t follow protocol and it was referred to the regulatory body, long story short did not end well for the paramedic. As a Nurse I know not to do this, even not to give in inferior RV stemi.
That was strange because I seen a my uncle have a major stroke and his whole body kept coming off the stretcher he had no control of his movements and his nose was running like a hose
everyone has to understand that EMT can only do so much for someone with a stroke we cannot administer an IV or puncture skin. Only ALS paramedics can. I think she did a good jump gave him O2 on a nonribreather and Nitro to lower the BP. Take care of the ABCs all EMTs can do. Hospital takes care of the rest. Unless you are EMT, paramedic, or doctor. SHUTUP haha
Yonkers? More like BONKERS. Stroke protocol and pt handling… where?
all of y’all pretending to be doctors in the comments lmaoo
Do you know what I’m saying him no me 👁👄👁
İs anybody know how is the stroke patient i am really worried about him
Don’t administer oral medications to an unresponsive patient
Why administering nitroglycerin by sublingual because he is unconscious, also the patient is unsecure he tried to fall a couple of times.
I would never want to be treated by an emt or paramedic who gives nitroglycerin sublingual to an unconscious stroke patient
I wanted to know the pulse so bad. I’m pretty he had bradycardia and had cushing syndrome
She gave nitro sublingual to an unconscious pt👀
I have a special place in my heart for stroke patients and survivors, as I am also a stroke survivor 💜 God bless the EMTs that keep us alive long enough to get to the hospital, we truly appreciate you!
New airway control technique. The Fowler’s head flop position.
Medic: Do you understand what I’m saying?
Patient: Shakes his head “no”…….🤔🤔🤔
He shook his head no saying he couldn’t understand them but was responding to them still . . ..
Anybody know what happened to this poor guy? Didn’t look good and wasn’t even secured.
Oh noooo. Nitro. Don’t lower BP in possible/likely CVA! Oh goodness.
