Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A flight team was activated for a scene call in rural Vermont for a patient with apparent carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Per ground emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, this 55-year-old man with a history of coronary artery disease (CAD) was found unresponsive in his parked vehicle in his garage. "Dryer hose" tubing ran from the tailpipe into the rear window of his sedan. EMS providers also stated that a variety of unidentified pills were found on the floormat. There were no pill bottles in the vehicle or in the home to identify the medications. Whether the pills had been consumed was unclear. Ground EMS removed the patient from the vehicle and immediately placed the patient on high-flow oxygen. The duration of the exposure was unknown. |
