Hmm. I had this guy. Tell SO to provide cover, pull the guy to cover. Intubate (which is fairly easy do to many interfering pieces missing like the pesky tongue) Pack the oropharnyx well, Go ASAP, IV's enroute. My Shotgun to face guy did fine leaning forward on the gurney with stuff dripping into a basin for 20min or so. We intubated him to fly the extra 30min to a level 1 trauma center. He's back on the street now.
