Based on my current level of training (EMT-B): Obtain an initial oxygen saturation level and closely monitor O2 sat throughout treatment and transport. Administer 15 lpm O2 via BVM, rapid transport. Depending on ETA to more advanced emergent care, request ALS intercept en route.
If we're a significant distance from an ER, I would guess we're looking at an emergency cric. This is beyond my scope of practice, thus the request for ALS intercept. That being said, if I'm driving an ALS unit with a medic in the back, he/she's probably already performed the procedure and we're running lights and sirens with liberal application of diesel.
Edit: Sorry guys, just realized the age of this thread. Didn't mean to resurrect it. Hope these scenarios continue, fun times.
