If a patient meets medical guidelines, what should you do?

When a patient meets medical guidelines, it is crucial to contact base. This step is necessary because specific protocols often require that any patient meeting particular criteria be reported to a medical control or base station. This allows for additional guidance and ensures that the patient's care aligns with established protocols, which can include potential further assessment, treatment adjustments, or resource allocation. By contacting base, you can verify that the appropriate steps are being taken in compliance with medical guidelines and get confirmation or further instructions based on the patient's status. This communication is essential in maintaining a standard of care and ensuring patient safety.
