well from what i saw in the video he wasn't bleeding too badly. i would just dress the wound and transport. if he was bleeding profusely than i would trendelenberg him.
ehh I never feel bad seeing these guys get fucked up by the bull they are having oh so much fun stabbing to death. I cheer for the bulls everytime. But thats just me.

If it messed with his airway I'd intubate or do a surgical airway. Otherwise I'd apply pressure, imobilize and transport with the backboard tilted with a suction cath in his mouth if needed. Also I'd laugh... just a little

It sure looked like the bull's horn penetrated his throat then came out his mouth. I would RSI (give meds to make him "go night night") & intubate the Pt to protect the airway. Control the bleeding with gauze, & definetely spinal package this dude.

A Maxillofacial / Oral trauma
B Surgical Airway site
Based on the location and amount of "A" I bet I'd be confirming the location of "B" really quickly... just a guess. It's possible that the damage may still allow oraltracheal intubation....
Either way he'll need airway control and imobilization. Pretty cool really.

Personally, his choice of hobbies sucks, and i would give him a $100 off coupon to walmart for a casket and would stop the ambulance there to drop him off...
just kidding...
Id let him get infected and die a slow painfulk death. How you think the bull feels? He got what was coming to him.

Does not look like he is doing too well:
MADRID -- A Madrid hospital says Spanish bullfighter Julio Aparicio has returned to intensive care and is fighting an infection after a horrific goring in the throat by a bull.
Aparicio had left the unit and was recovering well on Monday following surgery to reconstruct his throat, mouth and palate, but outbreak of an infection forced a return to the unit where doctors placed him on mechanically assisted breathing,
In a statement released Saturday the hospital says Aparicio is now breathing normally and it describes his condition as "grave" but stable.
The matador slipped in a bullring, fell to the ground and a 1,168 pound (530-kilogram) bull drove his right horn through Aparicio's throat and out his mouth.

One round of JHP .40 S&W should do the trick and as for the bull i would patch him up and feed him some nice green hay for doing a good job
