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: - >>>>>- *Re-
examine the chest*
- Perform an aortogram
- Obtain a CT scan of the chest
- Obtain ABG analysis
- Transesophageal echocardiography
A construction worker 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: - >>>>>- complete spine x-ray
series
, Which of the following is true regarding the initial
resuscitation of a trauma patient? - >>>>>- A patient with a
torso gunshot wound and hypotension should receive
crystalloid fluid resuscitation until the blood pressure is
normal
-* Evidence of improved perfusion after fluid
resuscitation could include improvement in Glasgow
Coma Scale score on reevaluation*
- Massive transfusion is defined as transfusion of more
than 10 units of packed red blood cells and plasma within
24 hours
- When tranexamic acid is administered by pre-hospital
providers, a second dose is required within 24 hours
- Fluid resuscitation is far more important than bleeding
control in trauma patient
In managing a patient with a severe traumatic brain
injury, the most important initial step is to: - >>>>>-
Secure the airway
A previously healthy, 70-kg (154-pound) man suffers an
estimated acute blood loss of 2 liters. Which one of the
following statements applies to this patient? - >>>>>- His
pulse pressure will be widened.
- His urinary output will be at the lower limits of normal.
xxx
- He will have tachycardia, but no change in his systolic
blood pressure.
