A 22-year-old man is hypotensive re-examine the chest
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:
,A construction worker falls two complete spine x-ray series
stories from a building and sustains
bilateral calcaneal fractures. In the
emergency department, he is alert,
vital signs are normal, and he is
complaining of severe pain in both
heels and his lower back. Lower
extremity pulses are strong and there
is no other deformity. The suspected
diagnosis is most likely to be
confirmed by:
Which of the following is true Evidence of improved perfusion after fluid
regarding the initial resuscitation of a resuscitation could include improvement in
