Great work by this crew, but especially Carver EMS Paramedic James Kuketz!

Paramedic 54 responded to a report of a male patient who was awake but unresponsive. Upon ALS arrival, crews quickly recognized the severity of the patient’s condition and requested additional resources, including a BLS ambulance. The patient was exhibiting signs and symptoms concerning for a stroke when paramedics witnessed the patient begin actively seizing. The seizure resolved prior to medication administration.

Following extrication to the ambulance, BA 139 arrived on scene to assist. Shortly after, the patient began actively seizing again and was medicated as crews initiated rapid transport to the appropriate facility.

While en route to the Emergency Department, the patient suffered cardiac arrest. Crews immediately initiated CPR and administered one round of Epinephrine. ROSC was successfully achieved after one round of CPR, and the patient was safely transported and delivered to a higher level of care.

This call highlights the importance of rapid assessment, teamwork, and coordinated prehospital care during a rapidly evolving, high-acuity medical emergency. Excellent work by all personnel involved. ❤️💪🚑
