Aight so we picked up a 84 year old female with terminal cancer to transport her to her doctors office. Her vitals at the time were
Bp: 72/50( this was acquired by the doctor, no one on our truck could even hear any sounds while trying to get bp, doctor had to use an amplifier)
Pulse 122
Resp. Rate 28 very shallow
O2 sat was 91
Cap refill 3 seconds
very lethargic
She was also shaking very bad and this was not normal for her. We took her to her doctor and they immediately got a DNR order.
Im thinking at this point in time she was in decompensation shock. Anybody else got any ideas?
