Get a call for a dialysis transfer to take patient back to her SNF. Pt is a 92 y/o female with dementia and renal disease, no cardiac. Upon finishing up dialysis treatment pt is tachy at 130. Dr at facility requests we take pt to ER rather than back home. With a 2 minute ETA to the closest receiving I decided to load and go. I am only an emt-b and I do realize this is an ALS call. With an ETA of 5-6 minutes for ALS, is it in the patients best interest to load with a short ETA to hospital like 2 minutes or call ALS and wait for their arrival? Thanks in advance for your opinions.
