Prehospital identification of the injured patient likely to require emergent care remains a challenge. End tidal carbon dioxide(ETCO2) has been utilized in the prehospital setting to monitor respiratory physiology and confirmation of endotracheal tube placement. Low levels of ETCO2 have been demonstrated to correlate with injury severity and mortality in a number of in-hospital studies. We hypothesized that prehospital ETCO2 values would be predictive of mortality and need for massive transfusion(MT) in intubated patients.
