A 22-year-old man is re-examine the chest
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:
,A construction worker complete spine x-ray series
falls two 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 Evidence of improved perfusion after fluid resuscitation

to the emergency
department by his parents
several minutes after he fell
through a window. He is
bleeding profusely from a 6-
cm wound of his medial right

splenic laceration with free
abdominal fluid. His blood
pressure falls to 70 mm Hg
after CT. The next step is:
