A 22-year-old man is hypotensive and 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:
Select one:
a.
reexamine the chest
b.
perform an aortogram
c.
obtain a CT scan of the chest
d.
obtain arterial blood gas analyses
e.
perform transesophageal echocardiography - ANS>>A) Reexamine the
chest
A construction worker falls two stories from a building and sustains
bilateral calcaneal fractures. In the emergency department, he is alert, vital

Which of the following is true regarding the initial resuscitation of a trauma
patient?
Select one:
a.
A patient that presents with a torso gunshot wound and is hypotensive
should receive crystalloid fluid resuscitation until the blood pressure is
normal
b.
Evidence of improved perfusion after fluid resuscitation could include
improvement in Glasgow coma scale score on reevaluation
c.
Massive transfusion is defined as transfusion of more than >10 of packed
red blood cells and plasma in 24 hours
d.
When tranexamic acid is administered by pre-hospital providers a second
dose is required within 24 hours
e.
Fluid resuscitation is far more important than bleeding control in trauma
patients - ANS>>b.
