Good evening. We're inbound here. E.R. with the transfer from 61 Genesis East. On board, I've got a 63-year-old male initials (name withheld). He's coming, you guys, with a skull fracture, a right-side at Dumo and an intracranial hemorrhage after a motorcycle accident.

Initially, at the hospital, we had a point where he was profoundly hypotensive, so I started him on VASO and LevaFet. I have been able to stop those now, and his pressure is holding fine.

He is intubated and sedated, tolerating the vet well. Last set of vitals, blood pressure is 114 over 81, heart rate's 80, 315 times a minute on the vent, and 100% on that with the GPS of 3. We've got a 13-13-13-1-3-minute EPA. Go ahead with any plush orders?
