You have arrived at the scene of a MVC involving a car and an SUV. You recognize a side impact on the drivers side of the car with about 12 inches of intrusion into the passenger compartment and very little damage to the SUV. All other passengers have left the vichiles without injury except the driver of the car, a 20y/o male slumped over the steering wheel with obvious contact of the steering wheel to his anterior chest.
The pt. is awake, anxious, diaphoretic, and breathing rapidly (rr30). He has a weak, thready, rapid radial pulse. There is tenderness and bursing over the left upper quadrant of his ABD.
What injuries do you expect in this Pt.?
How would you manage this Pt.?
You are 30 minutes away from the nearest trauma center. How does this alter your plan of action?
PLEASE ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS::::: And have fun with your answers!
