Summary
You are called to the emergency room to evaluate the airway of a patient found unconscious after a failed suicide attempt. He was found in his garage with his car running. His pulse oximetry reading is 97%. He is very somnolent. You determine that the patient needs to be intubated. The medical student standing nearby wants to know why you would intubate him if his “oxygenation” is normal.
