You have responded to a local residence of a 37-year-old male who had lacerated his leg while
using a chainsaw in the back of his house. Prior to your arrival, the patient's wife, who is a
nurse, applied pressure to the wound and has the patient in a Trendelenburg position. Your
assessment of the patient reveals him to be responsive to painful stimuli with a weak carotid
pulse and the blood pressure unobtainable. There is a massive amount of blood surrounding
