Vitals Signs
The patient is on non- rebreather mask and the vital parameters are:
Temperature- 37.7 degree centigrade
Heart rate - 128 beats/ minute
Respiratory rate - 25 breaths/ minute
Blood pressure - 100/60 mmHg
And saturation - 92%
The initial survey reveals a patent airway with no evidence of current obstruction. Breathing is tachypneic and regular, with accessory muscle use indicating increased effort. Circulation characterized by tachycardia and mild hypotension. There are 1+ distal pulses bilaterally, and the skin is warm and dry. At the ER, an ECG reveals sinus tachycardia of 129, which resolves without any prior medical management. Sinus at 98 beats per minute.
Identify the life-threatening injuries of the patient using the ABC prioritization. Why?

- CLINICAL SCENARIO Karla age 29 had multiple stabbed wounds on his extremities, her legs are drenched in blood and the ER nurse noticed that there is a deep lacerated wound on the diaphragm area of the patient. The ER nurse took Karla’s vital signs, BP=90/70mmHg, RR = 21cpm (shallow), CR = 110 bpm (palpable). Further assessment revealed that her difficulty of breathing is brought about by the wound near the diaphragm area. Her officemate who accompanied her to the hospital said that Karla recently had been fired by her employer because of her hospitalization she had an argument with a drunken co-worker which led her to be stabbed several times. Furthermore, Kalra explained that she could not sleep well because of the pain on the wound sites. Karla also requested the nurse to do some bad bath because she feels very dirty. She also verbalized to the nurse, “How I wish could come back to my old job, how can I find a new one with the situation that I am into? I want a job that is satisfying…Approach to a patient with Difficulty in breathing: A 25-year-old man is brought to the emergency department following a stab wound to the right back. He is complaining of difficulty breathing and severe pain on his right side. His vital signs on arriving are a blood pressure of 140/88 mm Hg, heart rate of 100bpm, respiratory rate of 25/minute with oxygen saturation of 90% by pulse oximetry. While undergoing a chest radiograph, he becomes agitated and develops severe respiratory distress. Vital signs are now blood pressure 80/60 mm Hg, heart rate 125bpm, respiratory rate 40/minute and oxygen saturator of 75% by pulse oximetry. Chest examinant reveals an absence of breath sounds and hyperresonance over the right lung field. Neck examination reveals distended neck veins and tracheal deviation to the left side.
