A 26-year-old male is resuscitated with blood transfusion after a motor vehicle collision that
was complicated by a fractured pelvis. A few hours later, the patient becomes febrile, hypo-
tensive with a normal CVP, and oliguric. Upon examination, the patient is found to be bleed-
ing from the NG tube and IV sites. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Hemorrhagic shock
B. Acute adrenal insufficiency
C. Fat embolism syndrome
D. Transfusion reaction

,How does shivering affect body temperature
ANSWER
Increases body temperature
Management of a stable patient with kidney contusion
ANSWER
Observation
Class III hemorrhage indicates what % of blood loss
ANSWER

The most effective method of monitoring the success of resuscitation during CPR?
ANSWER
Reactivity of pupils to light
Associated with hypovolemic shock
ANSWER
-Inadequate tissue perfusion with resultant tissue hypoxia
-Blood shunting to vital organs
-Decreased circulating blood volume and decreased venous return
-Low cardiac output
-Loss of less than 20% of the blood volume is usually without symptom except for mild tach-
ycardia

, -Patients become orthostatic with losses between 20 and 40%
-Shock is evidenced by tachycardia, hypotension, oliguria, flat neck veins
Used to ensure correct placement of endotracheal tube
ANSWER
-Ultrasound
-Bilateral breath sounds
-Sustained end-tidal CO2
