A gruesome head-on motorcycle accident causes this month’s patient a litany of injuries. He has bilateral femur fractures, a large open wound on his abdomen and much more… and he’s awake the whole time. He is cognizant, lucid, and chatting with our team through the entire ordeal. Is he experiencing neurogenic shock? And if he is experiencing neurogenic shock, can he be electrically paced? There’s no standard guidance on this exact scenario. Tune into this episode of AMPED to find out what our team did and what the ultimate result is. We’re joined by Veronica Huskey, RN, NREMT-P, CFRN, FP-C and Alaina Armstrong-Cain, NREMT-P, FP-C. As always, thanks for listening and fly safe!
