AB A  23-year-old  driver  is  involved  in  a  motor  vehicle  crash  (MVC)  in  which  her  car  has  collided  with  an  oncoming  vehicle.  On  arrival  at  the  scene,  the  emergency  medical  services  (EMS)  field  team  estimates  a  prolonged  extrication  time  and  difficult  airway  problem,  and  calls  for  EMS  physician-on-call  back-up.  Upon  arriving  at  the  scene,  you  note  that  she  appears  to  be  unconscious  inside  the  vehicle  and  is  not  making  effective  respiratory  efforts.  She  is  slumped  back  against  her  seat.
