During a bad winter storm, you respond to a traffic accident to transport one adult patient. Fire rescue personnel bring the patient on a backboard to the back of your ambulance and help load. They report to you that this patient was unrestrained in the back seat. The two front-seat passengers are DOA. This patient is alert, moaning and skin color is good. You work to get the patient warmed up and finish a detailed assessment. The hospital has been notified you are enroute with one patient. What finding from your assessment would be the most critical to notify the hospital about?
