32 YO MVA victim, was intubated and ventilated on site for a GCS of 7 and
maxilo-facial injury. He was evacuated to a local hospital where a Rt
chest-tube was inserted for pneumothorax. Brain CT showed sub arachnoid
hemorrhage with some small contusions , a C1 fracture was found as well. He
was then transferred to a Level 1 Trauma Center. On admission he had a GCS
of 5 (t) with right hemiparesis. Neck CT -angio showed dissection of the
left internal carotid artery. What shall we do now?
thanks
