Abstract
A previously healthy 32-year-old man, a body-boarder, was transported to hospital by primary retrieval helicopter, within 2 h of a shark attack injuring both legs. Tourniquets were applied bilaterally to decrease haemorrhage. En route to hospital he was intubated with an endotracheal tube due to severe agitation from acute blood loss (figures 1 and 2).
