Enrоute Phаse Scenаriо: The AEMT is dispаtched tо a local fitness center for a 58-year-old male who collapsed while using a treadmill. A bystander on scene reports that the patient is unresponsive and not breathing. The time of the call is 1412. The response time is estimated at 8 minutes. The AEMT is partnered with an EMT, and a fire department BLS engine crew is also en route. The patient is located inside the gym. It is a warm spring afternoon with moderate traffic in the area. The nearest hospital is 10 minutes away. Gym staff have been instructed to retrieve the on-site AED and bring it to the patient. OnScene Phase Scenario: The patient (approximately 80 kilograms) is found lying supine on the floor of a fitness center. The patient is unresponsive, pulseless, and not breathing. A bystander began chest compressions approximately two minutes before EMS arrival. Gym staff report that the patient had been jogging on a treadmill before suddenly collapsing. The AED has just arrived on scene. The AEMT confirms absence of a carotid pulse and initiates resuscitation efforts. High-quality chest compressions are continued, and a bag-valve mask is connected to high-flow oxygen to begin ventilation. The AED is attached, and the initial rhythm analysis indicates ventricular fibrillation shock advised. No signs of trauma are present. The patient has no known allergies. The patient’s medical history and medications are currently unknown. Post Scene Phase Scenario: The patient (approximately 80 kilograms) remains unconscious following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after 12 minutes of CPR and two defibrillation shocks. The patient’s skin is pale and cool, and there is no evidence of trauma. The advanced airway remains secured and in place, and the patient is ventilated with a bag-valve mask connected to high-flow oxygen. The carotid pulse is present at 84 beats per minute, and respirations are shallow at 8 breaths per minute. Pupils are 3 mm and reactive to light. The AEMT notes oxygen saturation at 89% with BVM ventilation. The patient is secured and prepared for transport. Vital signs are BP 106/70, P 84, R 8 (assisted), SpO₂ 89% on BVM, and T 98.6°F (37°C). No spontaneous movements or responses to verbal stimuli are observed. Which of the following findings indicates the need for continued immediate care during transport?

Enrоute Phаse Scenаriо: The AEMT is dispаtched tо a 58-year-old male patient who is unresponsive in his home. The time of the call is 0800. The response time will be 10 minutes. The AEMT is partnered with an EMT, and a BLS fire department engine crew is dispatched with the ambulance. The patient is located inside his bedroom. There is heavy rainfall in the response area. It is a hot summer morning, and the temperature is 95°F (35 °C). The nearest small hospital is 15 minutes away, and the nearest comprehensive facility is 30 minutes away. On Scene Phase Scenario: The patient (approximately 70 kilograms) is found unresponsive, lying on a couch in the living room. The family reports the patient had been feeling weak earlier in the day and became unresponsive within the last 20 minutes. The patient has a medical history of metastatic cancer, depression, and chronic constipation. The patient takes methadone for cancer-related pain, along with sertraline, docusate sodium, ondansetron (as needed for nausea), and lactulose (as needed to prevent hepatic encephalopathy). There are no known allergies to medications. Upon AEMT assessment, the patient is unresponsive to verbal or painful stimuli. The airway is partially obstructed by relaxed soft tissues, and respirations are slow and irregular. The patient’s pupils are pinpoint and reactive to light. The skin is pale and cool, with no visible signs of trauma. The patient does not respond to motor commands. Vital signs are as follows: blood pressure is 90/50 mmHg, pulse is 40 beats per minute, respirations are 6 per minute and irregular, SpO₂ is 82% on room air, and the temperature is 98.6°F (37°C). What is the most appropriate dose and route of naloxone for this patient, based on AEMT scope of practice and presentation?
Which оf the fоllоwing ethicаl principles аpplies during mаss casualty incidents?
