A 22-year-old man is hypotensive and re-examine the chest
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 falls two stories from complete spine x-ray series

fractures. In the emergency department, he
is alert, vital signs are normal, and he is
complaining of severe pain in both heels
