The paramedics initiated cervical spine precautions

Bryan is a 19-year-old male who lost control of his car and struck a tree. Witnesses reported that he was not wearing a seat belt, and his face hit the windshield on impact. When paramedics arrived, Bryan was responsive but confused, had significant facial swelling, and reported pain in his right wrist and left forearm. The paramedics initiated cervical spine precautions, strapped him to a backboard, started oxygen (O2) at 15L/min via a non-rebreather mask, and started a 16 gauge IV with 0.9% normal saline (NS). His vital signs (VS) were 120/75, 125, 36, and SaO2 94%. CASE STUDY On arrival to the Emergency Department(ED) 15 minutes later, Bryan’s VS were BP 110/62, P 110 (reg), R 28-32 and shallow, SaO2 99%. An additional 16 gauge IV was inserted and the following labs were drawn: CBC, type and crossmatch, (T &C), complete metabolic panel (CMP), PT/PTT INR, and alcohol (ETOH) level. He was seen and assessed by the neurosurgeon and subsequently admitted to the neurotrauma intensive care unit. The trauma nurse completed a head-to-toe assessment and found the following: obeys commands, and responds to voice but is not oriented to time or place. Generalized facial
edema with full-thickness 5-cm cheek laceration and bilateral mandibular depressed fractures. Blood behind the left tympanic membrane (TM), edema with slight discoloration over left mastoid process. Clear drainage coming from the left are. Mid to upper chest contusions without crepitus, breath sounds clear. Abdomen slightly firm, but non-tender. Bryan was catheterized for 500ml of clear, yellow urine; negative for blood, glucose, and ketones. He had a positive deformity of the right wrist and diffuse tenderness of the left lower forearm.
