Patient information is limited, previous medical history, details of chronic medication, allergies, genetic abnormalities are unknown. Patients: intoxicated, full stomach, potential cervical spine instability. Patients often:multiple injuries, requiring several procedures, sometimes in different positions. Difficult airway is not unusual, special airway management equipment may be required at short notice. Occult injuries: tension pneumothorax or cardiac tamponade, can manifest at unexpected times.
