Scenario:You and your partner are dispatched to a motor vehicle collision (MVC) involving a 55-year-old male driver. Upon arrival, you find the patient slumped in his seat with a significant deformity to the windshield and dashboard, suggesting a high-speed impact. There is no obvious external bleeding, but the patient appears to have suffered a head injury.The patient is unconscious, with no response to verbal or painful stimuli. His breathing is irregular, with deep, labored breaths, and he has a slow heart rate of 44 bpm. Blood pressure is 190/60 mmHg, and his Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score is 6. You also notice that his pupils are unequal, and his arms and legs exhibit decerebrate posturing.Given the nature of the accident and the patient’s declining status, you quickly initiate spinal precautions and begin managing the airway, recognizing that the patient is showing signs of Cushing’s triad. You secure the patient on a backboard and place him in a semi-Fowler’s position (head elevated at 30 degrees). Oxygen is applied via a non-rebreather mask at 15 LPM to maximize oxygenation.During transport, you continue to monitor the patient’s vital signs and respiratory status. The patient’s condition remains critical, with continued irregular breathing and bradycardia. You ensure rapid transport to the nearest trauma center, providing the receiving team with a full report, including the signs of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and the prehospital interventions provided.Post-scene Phase QuestionDuring the hospital handoff, the physician asks about any interventions to control ICP during transport. Which intervention would be most relevant to mention?
