En route to hospital, the patient starts to become lethargic and complains of a headache and dizziness. On checking the patients carbon monoxide (CO) level, you notice it is much higher than expected. You administer high‐flow oxygen through a non‐rebreathe mask using 15 L of oxygen and transport the patient to the nearest Emergency Department with a pre‐alert call due to the smoke inhalation and potential for CO poisoning.
