Check (blood glucose) and vitals… Then do a FAST exam, find out when the last time the person was normal. If the FAST is positive then a Stroke alert will be initiated at the receiving hospital. Immediate ER eval and CT scan.

Failed my NREMT a few months ago then watched paramedic coach and did his program and passed.

[@pixiearro]

BGL! We get asked when calling stroke alert if we did a BGL, before they ask the vitals. The other thing I would add that is while one is doing the vitals, the other should look around (not take an hour, but a quick look) for any meds. If it's an 84 yo living at home, I would bet the meds are easily accessible. I'd be looking for diabetic medications, any kind of behavioral health meds or ones like gabapentin (because stopping that one cold turkey can DEFINITELY cause stroke-like symptoms.)

What up Even I start EMT school tm I'm excited and I'm gonna be using you content a lot

[@brennick7647]

Thanks for all the videos! I just got My National registry and used your videos to review for my Cognitive exam.

[@shaneiceandrade]

Love this video! Can you make more videos like this? Nremt question and then explain the condition in detail.

[@defensivefit-selfdefense]

Question, in NJ you're not allowed to check glucose at an EMT level. How would I assess the patient in this case? Ask if they're diabetic or if they've eaten recently?

[@BenWiele]

Only one way, gotta taste the blood for sugar.

[@defensivefit-selfdefense]

@@BenWiele LOL...I'll remember that

[@jayswag92]

You answer based on the national protocols not local.

[@defensivefit-selfdefense]

@@jayswag92 thanks but I understand that part as far as the test goes. I'm asking if it's a real patient. What approach would be the best care?

[@jayswag92]

@@defensivefit-selfdefense you’d have to follow your local protocols in Some regions here in Illinois you cannot check blood glucose either. It’s crazy but it is what it is lol.

[@dawnr7798]

Emts in NJ can’t take a blood glucose. NJ uses the NREMT exam and this is why it can be challenging with these questions.

[@berineayala4767]

Thank you

I failed the nremt 3 times going on my 4th try, I’m interested in purchasing but what’s holding me back is that I don’t want to get confused with aemt and paramedic content. I’m only trying to get my emt license. Some of these other KZbinrs teach advanced things and I get lost

[@Ketriofcourse]

Don’t go over the aemt or paramedic information until you need it. It’s access to information for a lifetime.

[@tinishacooke2197]

In New Jersey we are not permitted to check BGL, so would we then perform BEFAST and skip that step?

[@yippiecahier9253]

Very interesting! In my EMS course, they have not mentioned glucose for strokes... can you elaborate on this?

[@eudaimonia9260]

I believe I remember him saying in another video that high blood glucose can mimick a stroke

[@carolineryan4677]

Taking my NREMT exam on Monday. Wish me luck!

[@TheParamedicCoach]

Good luck!!

[@carolineryan4677]

Update : I failed, for the 3rd time. I’m not really sure what to do, I’m pretty much at a loss. The remedial training is next but my spirits are pretty low.

[@billybeane8130]

Can you please go over the points in a stroke alert

[@Alex-ou4tn]

What’s TPA?

[@timm285]

C. Blood sugar. I literally just had this question on a quiz and got it wrong.

[@shannonweaver3148]

Answer is C no stroke is a stroke until you check blood glucose because diabetes emergency can act like a stroke

@@josefkozenk7971 OH don't worry about it . I was glad you pointed it out, that way I could change it.

[@sasquatchexperience5994]

If C is good then goto D and alert Receiving Facility for a Possible stroke. And find out when they were last seen Normal.
