A young man sustains a rifle wound to the mid-abdomen. He is brought
promptly to the ED by prehospital personnel. His skin is cool and
diaphoretic, and his systolic blood pressure is 58mmHg. Warmed
crystalloid fluids are initiated without improvement in his vital 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 - ANSWER--A. Laparotomy because
of hemodynamic abnormality

A 42-year-old man is trapped from the waist down beneath his
overturned tractor for several hours before medical assistance 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 patient move either of his
lower extremities. On examination in the ED, no movement of his lower
extremities are detected, even in response to painful stimuli. The most
likely cause for this finding is:
A. An epidural hematoma
B. A pelvic fracture
C. Central cord syndrome
D. Intracerebral hemorrhage
E. Bilateral compartment syndrome - ANSWER--MÅ SJEKKES
A 6-year-o boy is struck by an automobile and brought to the ED. He is

access in this patient is:
A. Percutaneous femoral vein cannulation

A young man sustains a gunshot wound to the abdomen and is brought
promptly 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. The definitive treatment in managing this
patient is to:
A. Administer O-negative blood
B. Apply external warming devices
C. Control internal hemorrhage operatively
