Enroute Phase Scenario:  The AEMT is dispatched to a dentist’s office for a 32-year-old male who is reported to be weak, dizzy, and slightly agitated. The call was received at 1015. The estimated response time is 9 minutes. The AEMT is partnered with an EMT, and a BLS fire department engine crew is also en route. The patient is located inside the dental office. It is a cool spring morning with heavy rainfall in the area, and the temperature is 42°F (6°C). A small hospital is located 12 minutes from the scene, while the nearest comprehensive medical facility is 30 minutes away.  OnScene Phase Scenario:  The patient (70 kilograms) is seated upright in a dental chair and appears visibly diaphoretic. The office staff states that the patient seemed confused upon arrival and has become increasingly irritable and slow to respond. The patient has a history of diabetes, seizures, and hyperlipidemia, and was instructed to fast after midnight for a scheduled dental procedure. The patient takes insulin, carbamazepine, hydrocodone/acetaminophen (for dental pain), and atorvastatin. The patient has no known allergies to medications. There are no signs of trauma, and the patient is able to follow simple commands. Eyes are open, and the pupils are 5 mm and reactive to light. The patient’s skin is diaphoretic. The vital signs are: blood pressure is 156/90 mmHg, pulse is 124 beats per minute, respirations are 10 per minute, SpO₂ is 95% on room air, temperature is 98°F (37°C), and the blood glucose is 47 mg/dL. Post scene Phase Scenario: Following administration of Dextrose 50% IV, the patient (70 kilograms) becomes more alert and oriented. He states that he did not eat breakfast prior to the dental procedure and began feeling “shaky” shortly after arriving. The patient now appears weak but is conversational and cooperative. His skin remains slightly diaphoretic. There are no signs of trauma, and IV access remains intact in the left forearm. Eyes are open, and the pupils are 5 mm and reactive to light. The vital signs are: blood pressure is 138/86 mmHg, pulse is 102 beats per minute, respirations are 14 per minute, SpO₂ is 97% on room air, temperature is 98°F (37°C), and the blood glucose is 84 mg/dL.

Enroute Phase Scenario:  The AEMT is dispatched to a community dental office for a 28-year-old female patient who is reportedly acting strangely and refusing to allow anyone near her. The call was received at 1440. The estimated response time is 9 minutes. The AEMT is partnered with an EMT, and a BLS fire department engine crew is also en route. Law enforcement has been requested but has not yet arrived on scene. It is overcast and 52°F (11°C) on a mild afternoon. Traffic in the area is moderate. The patient is located in a private dental suite within the office. The nearest hospital is 10 minutes from the scene.  OnScene Phase Scenario:  The patient (approximately 40 kilograms) is standing in the corner of a private dental suite, mumbling incoherently and clutching her chest. She appears visibly frightened and refuses to sit, make eye contact, or respond to verbal commands. The dental staff states that the patient was agitated upon arrival and repeatedly claimed that someone was “chasing her.” The patient has a history of anxiety and a prior psychiatric admission, and she takes sertraline for depression. She has no known drug allergies. There are no signs of trauma. The patient has not attempted to harm herself or others but is refusing to answer questions or follow instructions. Law enforcement has arrived and is standing outside the room. The patient’s level of consciousness appears intact, but her behavior is paranoid and disorganized. No vital signs have been obtained at this time.  Post Phase Scenario: The patient was safely restrained with the assistance of law enforcement and placed on the stretcher. She is now lying still but intermittently crying and speaking incoherently. She does not answer questions but no longer resists care. The patient’s skin is warm and dry, and there are no signs of trauma. She remains in soft restraints and is being transported to a facility equipped for psychiatric evaluation and stabilization. Eyes are open, and pupils are 4 mm and reactive to light. The vital signs are: blood pressure is 138/82 mmHg, pulse is 108 beats per minute, respirations are 18 per minute, SpO₂ is 98% on room air, and temperature is 98°F (37°C).  Why is it important to continue transport to a facility with psychiatric evaluation services, even if the patient appears calmer?
