4. A young man sustains a rifle wound A. Laparotomy because of hemodynamic ab-
to the mid-abdomen. He is brought normality
promptly to the ED by prehospital per-
sonnel. His skin is cool and diaphoret-
ic, and his systolic blood pressure is
58mmHg. Warmed crystalloid fluids are
initiated without improvement in his vi-
tal signs. The next, most appropriate,
step is to perform:
A. a laparotomy
B. An abdominal CT-scan
C. Diagnostic laparoscopy
D. Abdominal ultrasonography
E. A diagnostic peritoneal lavage
5. A 42-year-old man is trapped from the MÅ SJEKKES
waist down beneath his overturned trac-
tor for several hours before medical as-
sistance arrives. He is awake and alert
until just before arriving in the ED. He
is now unconscious and responds only
to painful stimuli by moaning. His pupils
are 3mm in diameter and symmetrically
reactive to light. Prehospital personnel
indicate that they have not seen the pa-
tient move either of his lower extremi-
ties. On examination in the ED, no move-
ment of his lower extremities are detect-
ed, even in response to painful stimuli.

6. A 6-year-o boy is struck by an automo- D. Percutaneous peripheral veins in the upper
bile and brought to the ED. He is lethar- extremities
gic, but withdraws purposefully from
painful stimuli. His blood pressure is
90mmHg systolic, heart rate 140 beats
per minute and his respiratory rate is 36
breaths per minute. The preferred route
of venous access in this patient is:
A. Percutaneous femoral vein cannula-
tion
B. Cutdown on the saphenous vein at
the ankle
C. Intraosseous catheter placement in
the proximal tibia
D. Percutaneous peripheral veins in the
upper extremities
E. Central venous access via the subcla-
vian or internal jugular vein
7. A young man sustains a gunshot wound C. Control internal hemorrhage operatively
to the abdomen and is brought prompt-
ly to the ED by prehospital personnel.
His skin is cool and diaphoretic, and he
is confused. His pulse is thready and his
femoral pulse is only weakly palpable.
