A 22-year-old man is hypotensive and re-examine the chest
tachycardic after a shotgun wound to
the left shoulder. His blood pressure
is initially 80/40 mm Hg. After initial
fluid resuscitation his blood pressure
increases to 122/84 mm Hg. His heart
rate is now 100 beats per minute and
his respiratory rate is 28 breaths per
minute. A tube thoracostomy is
performed for decreased left chest
breath sounds with the return of a
small amount of blood and no air
leak. After chest tube insertion, the
most appropriate next step is:
,A construction worker falls two complete spine x-ray series
stories from a building and sustains
bilateral calcaneal fractures. In the

vital signs are normal, and he is
complaining of severe pain in both
