Unfortunately, those are all the vitals I have, due to the transfer of care to the medic.
And the magnesium I can't explain, I took the med names from the wife/gf.
That's all the history I obtained before the pt went downhill. I usually get most of my information in the back of the ambulance, and do a second discussion with the pt to make sure all the information was correct.
Well, I followed up with our Medical Director, and I guess he had torn the internal closure for his intestine. He had torn it open, and was suffering from major internal bleeding. He had finally stopped compensating. The rushed him to the OR after we brought him in. He was in the ICU for a couple of weeks, and ended up being fine and leaving the hospital to go home. The med director told us he was stunned that the man survived, seeing as how severe the bleed was. He didn't say anything about PEs, infections, etc. Just the bleed.
But now I have a question after reading some of the responses:
Why would he be excreting the frothy blood? Since there was nothing going on in his lungs, where would the froth be coming from?
