As a routine part of his critical trauma evaluation, he had an ECG recorded: There is an rSR" in V1 and V2, with downsloping ST segment and inverted T-wave which is very similar to a Brugada Type 1 phenocopy. On the other hand, the RV lies directly under leads V1 and V2; this makes pneumothorax less likely as an etiology of the abnormal ECG.

Here is his first ECG recorded after stable ROSC: Originally recorded in 50 mm/s (the standard in Norway), here converted to 25 mm/s. The patient received therapeutic hypothermia at 33 degrees C for 24 hours. While on telemetry the patient remained asymptomatic, however recurrent episodes of ECG abnormalities were recorded.

An ECG was performed in the ED at 1554: Original image unavailable, this is the only recorded scanned ECG available. In a patient with syncope and fever, this ECG looks more like Brugada. Smith comment: the ECG in question could be due to Brugada, even though there is a change from baseline. PM Cardio digitized version.

I’d raise here the concept of his ‘anticipated clinical course’ – he’s going to OT and has airway injury that will likely progress – so you might as well intubate on these grounds alone. Sure he’s got a traumatic amputation – your tourniquet has arrested the bleeding, but there may well be more blood loss.
