A 57-year-old, previously healthy tourist sustained closedhead trauma during a high-speed motor vehicle collision. She was found unconscious at the scene with a Glasgow coma scale score of 3. She suffered a multitude of injuries including frontal scalp lacerations and cervical cord injury. Upon arrival at the hospital, she suffered cardiopulmonary arrest of up to 12 minutes without a perfusing rhythm and was intubated.
