A 71-year-old male presents with chest pain and shortness of breath.
He is conscious, but confused, and is profusely diaphoretic. He has
weakly palpable radial pulses, a BP of 70/40 mm Hg, and diffuse
crackles in all lung fields. You administer high-flow oxygen and apply
the cardiac monitor, which reveals sinus tachycardia. The closest
appropriate hospital is 40 miles away. Which of the following is the
most appropriate next action?
