2. Airway managment with OPA/NPA, suction if needed. 02 therapy of NRB at 15l/m or BVM if needed. Control bleeding.Wrap object in place and do not try to remove. Rapid head to toe trauma assessment. IV fluids 2 18g IV NS run it wide open and titrate to mentation of 90-100 mm/hg systolic. Rapid transport.

I know of more advanced airway procedures that could be used but I have not been trained on them yet.
