A young male patient has suffered a gunshot wound to the head. Realizing that there is little chance for survival, the EMT notes that the patient is a potential organ donor. The patient is unresponsive and breathing four times per minute on the scene. The EMT initiates positive-pressure ventilation. En route to the hospital, the patient stops breathing and loses a pulse. Since the patient is a potential organ donor, the EMT should. Provide the same resuscitation as for a person who is not an organ donor Perform CPR but not use the automated external defibrillator Ventilate the patient but not provide chest compressions. Stop any and all resuscitation measures since this is a trauma arrest.
