The scene was called safe by first responding, a local FD with two EMTs at the scene. You have PD at your disposal with an averaged 4 min. response, closest additional unit is 15 min. away, and your flight unit can be there in 10 min. if put on standby.

Closest ER is 15 min. away in light traffic.

Scene size up and general impression upon arrival?

Does the patient respond and are there any indications of trauma?

Is he breathing?

Does he have a pulse?

Take care,

chbare.
