that is truck head-on by an oncoming car traveling at 64 kph (40 mph). The infant arrives in
the emergency department with multiple facial injuries, is lethargic, and is in severe
respiratory distress. Respiratory support is not effective using a bag-mask device, and her
oxygen saturation is falling. Repeated attempts at orotracheal intubation are unsuccessful.
The most appropriate procedure to perform next is :
a. Perform needle cricothyroidotomy with jet insufflation
b. Administer heliox and racemic epinephrine
c. perform nasotracheal intubation
d. perform surgical cricothyroidotomy
e. repeat orotracheal intubation

Chest X-ray, Pelvic X-ray, and FAST are normal. Extremities are normal. his management
should be…
a. 2 L of IV criystalloid and two units of pRBCs (packed red blood cells)
b. 2 L of crystalloid and vasopressors if BP does not respond
c. 2 L of IV crystalloid, manitol, and IV steroids
