I want Doc ICU to weigh in ... I doubt this poor man had a chance in hell, but the first thing I noticed - in the picture of the poor guy laying there obviously dead - is that all they have is a lousy ambu bag on room air and oropharyngeal airway. I can't tell if the blood is from his ear, mouth, nose.
The Olympics, and nobody has a freaking' laryngoscope and ET tube to provide an airway? Are emergency crews prevented from intubating in the face of a possible neck fracture?
