To start off i'm going to say that I am the patient in this real case that happened. Now that i know the answer i will provide the case. I was taken 2 separate times for just about the same "case", and got 2 separate styles of treatment (both were fine with me).
You are called to the residence of a 26 year old male, who is having debilitating abdominal pain. Background on the patient: seems to be physically in shape, is currently on the floor in the living area of the house curled into a ball. Patient states that he has been having moderate to severe pain for 2 days, on the left side of his abdomen, radiating to the lower left back. Pain on scale: 11/10. Pain described as: stabbing, stomach turning inside out, and burning. Last oral intake: about 4 hours ago/ few slices of bread, patient states he could not eat due to pain increasing upon intake.
FFW: patient is now in the ambulance, 20 minute transport time to a level 1 hospital has any capability (closest and obviously best choice). V/S BP:150/90 RR: 20 Sat:98% HR:96 SR
Patient also states he is not allergic to any medications to his knowledge.
curious as to: 1. How do you transport this patient(LS or non emergent) 2. Pain control? 3. General impressions? 4. what other information would you try to gather?
this is my first scenario so am probably forgetting things, lmk what you would need.
