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 - answerA) Reexamine the chest
A construction worker falls two stories from a building and sustains bilateral

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
