Rescue Me, Chapter 27
“Chief, what’s your extrication plan? We have to get him out quickly,” says Bette as she starts to suction the victim’s airway. She applies a non-rebreather oxygen mask and cranks up the O2 to 15 liters per minute. She brings his head into a neutral position and inserts an oropharyngeal airway to try and keep his airway open.
Chief: “We’re going to try to cut the roof away from the car so we can pull it out of the way and get a board in to him on the other side of the pole. We have to be careful though because of the hydraulic used to raise and lower the hardtop.”
Bette: “Great, how long do you think it will take?” “Chris, can you get in here and help me get a collar on him?”
Chief: “10, maybe 15 minutes.” Chris is climbing over Bette and trying to position himself so Bette can maintain manual stabilization on the victim’s cervical spine and he can get a collar on him. Once the cervical collar is in place, Chris takes over manual stabilization.
Bette: “I don’t know if he has 10 or 15 minutes. Chief, can you call dispatch and have them advise Community to prepare for a Trauma Alert, unconscious head trauma?”
Bette: “Here Chris, hold pressure on that head would with this trauma dressing.”
He slowly rolls his fingers up as Bette applies the Trauma dressing, never letting go of the patient’s head or endangering his cervical spine. Bette reassesses the patient’s pulses.
Bette: “He’s not tachycardic, but I’m not happy about his airway, I’m worried he’s going to aspirate Chris. I’m going to tube him before we get him out.”
Bette preps her equipment and proceeds to intubate the patient using a face to face technique. She gets the tube on her first attempt and secures it with a tube tamer and adds an end-tidal CO2 detector. She hooks up the portable ventilator and prepares to initiate two large bore IV’s. She cuts away the patient’s suit jacket and shirt. She managed to get one IV initiated before the rescue crew finally gets the roof of the car removed, allowing them enough room to extricate the patient on to a long backboard. Once he is out of the car and in the ambulance, Chris joins Bette in the back and a firefighter drives them to
Chris: “Umm Bette?”
Bette: “*****, this guy is herniating his brain. What Chris?”
Chris holds up a hospital ID badge that fell out of the patient’s suit jacket pocket.
Eric Prescott, MD
Department of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery
Bette: “*****, *****, *****! Damn it Eric, don’t you ***** die on me.”
Laura: “Talk to me Bette.”
Bette: “It’s Eric Prescott Laura, and I think he’s herniating his brain stem. Restrained driver, T-boned on his passenger’s side and rolled onto the driver’s door. Entrapped for about 15 minutes. Unconscious the whole time, snoring and gurgling respirations of 6 per minute on my arrival. Sub-Q emphysema present. We had to reposition his head and neck to a neutral position to open the airway before I intubated him. Pulse 58, Blood pressure is 116 over 102. Balance of the exam is pretty much unremarkable.
“Laura, Bette what did you bring me today,” asks Tina.
Tina, who else is on call today from Neuro,” asks Laura.
“Well, Vijay and John are on, but they’re both in surgery right now. Why?”
Laura looks are Bette, Bette looks at Tina and walks to her placing her hand on her shoulder.
“T, it’s Eric,” says Bette.
“Wh what?” Bette catches her as she collapses to the floor.

I thought that it might have been Eric and to tell you the truth as far as I am concerned, that is the best case senerio. I don’t think that Tina she have to or be premitted to operate on Eric. Please check your PM.
