AB  - An  Advanced  Life-Support  Emergency  Services  unit  brought  a  35-year-old  male  into  the  emergency  department  (ED)  “backboarded  and  collared.”  The  patient  was  an  unrestrained  driver  who  was  ejected  from  his  car  when  it  ran  off  the  road  and  hit  a  tree.  When  a  paramedic  team  arrived  10  minutes  after  the  crash,  the  patient  had  a  blood  pressure  (BP)  of  90/50  mm  Hg,  heart  rate  (HR)  100  beats  per  minute  (bpm),  respiratory  rate  (RR)  20  breaths  per  minute,  and  oxygen  saturation  (SpO2)  95%  on  room  air.  His  Glasgow  Coma  Scale  (GCS)  score  was  7  (opened  eyes  to  pain—2,  moaned—2,  abnormal  flexion—3).  Pupils  were  equal  and  reactive,  and  his  mouth  was  tightly  clenched.  The  patient  was  given  oxygen  via  nasal  prongs  and  a  non-rebreathing  face  mask.  Although  the  patient  exhibited  episodic  agitation  with  combative  behavior  during  transport,  intravenous  (IV)  access  was  obtained  and  an  infusion  of  Lactated  Ringer's  was  begun.
