Collaborative Rescue from Double Trouble: Case Review
A 76-year-old woman was discovered down in the bathtub of her home, aphasic with right-sided paralysis by her husband, who called 911. She had no previous significant medical history, but her husband reported complaints of right arm and chest pain from the patient in the previous 2 days. Although transporting prehospital emergency medical service (EMS) providers did not perform a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), they did place the patient on monitoring equipment for lead II heart rate, pulse oximetry, and noninvasive blood pressure measurements.
