AB An  Advanced  Life-Support  Emergency  Services  unit  brought  a  35-year-old  male  into  the  emergency  department  on  a  backboard  with  a  cervical  collar  in  place.  The  patient  was  the  driver  of  an  all-terrain  vehicle  that  rolled  off  the  road  and  ejected  him  into  a  ditch.  When  a  paramedic  team  arrived  at  the  scene,  the  patient  had  a  blood  pressure  of  90/50  mmHg,  a  heart  rate  of  120  bpm,  a  respiratory  rate  of  24  breaths  per  minute,  and  an  oxygen  saturation  of  95%  without  supplemental  oxygen.  His  Glasgow  Coma  Scale  score  was  7  (opened  eyes  to  pain-2,  moaned-2,  abnormal  flexion-3).  The  patient  was  given  oxygen  via  nasal  prongs  and  a  non-rebreathing  face  mask,  intravenous  access  was  obtained,  and  an  infusion  of  crystalloid  was  begun.
