Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Hung's Difficult and Failed Airway Management, 3e AB - A 25-year-old male drives into an unseen wire while he is snowmobiling. The wire strikes his anterior neck and throws him from his snowmobile. Paramedics are unsuccessful in placing an endotracheal tube (ETT) in the field. He arrives in the emergency department (ED) immobilized on a long spine board and with a cervical collar in place. He is unconscious, unresponsive to painful stimuli, and stridorous. Initial vital signs include a heart rate of 120 beats per minute, a blood pressure of 160/90 mm Hg, a respiratory rate of 24 breaths per minute, and an oxygen saturation of 93% on room air. A non-rebreather oxygen mask is applied, and his oxygen saturation increases to 97%.
