PASSAGE
A 25-year-old male is involved in a high-speed motor vehicle collision and sustains an isolated, severe traumatic brain injury with decorticate posturing. En route to the trauma center, he rapidly develops tachypnea and respiratory distress. His SpO2 drops from 98% to 88%, and auscultation reveals diffuse bilateral crackles.
