Case 1 You are on call for anesthesia. The neurosurgeon on call has booked an emergency decompression of a subdural hematoma for an elderly man who fell at home during a syncopal episode. A chest radiograph on admission showed fractures of the sixth to eighth ribs with no evidence of a pneumothorax. Cardiac workup and blood work were noncontributory. On assessment, the man is desaturating on room air despite no previous respiratory history. He is uncooperative and will require general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation.
