AB On  a  stormy  night  in  the  countryside,  a  72-year-old  male  driver  falls  asleep  at  the  wheel  and  strays  into  on-coming  traffic.  A  transport  truck  trying  to  avoid  him  strikes  his  small  car.  The  car  is  crushed  and  the  driver  is  trapped  inside.  Emergency  Medical  Services  (EMS)  are  activated.  Basic  life  support  (BLS)  medics  and  fire  fighters  arrive  on  scene  within  10  minutes.  The  patient  is  conscious  with  a  Glasgow  Coma  Score  of  13,  BP  80/40  mm  Hg,  HR  100  bpm,  RR  26  breaths  per  minute,  and  O2  saturations  of  82%  prior  to  oxygen  therapy.
