MrHeyden, a 72-year-old, has abdominopelvic trauma. His left side of the body was pinned beneath the tractor due to an accident at his farm. His lower quadrant appears to be compressed. He was taken to the hospital and the paramedical experts measured his blood pressure and heart rate for the further treatment. Mr Heyden suffered from the pain on the left side of his body. Characters in the case: Mr Heyden and the paramedical expert. Adequate information: His blood was reported at 90/50 mm Hg (millimetres of mercury) and his heart rate was 116 beats per minute. His blood pressure was continuously falling and the blood volumes of his body were also decreasing. He also loses consciousness. His blood pH (potential of hydrogen) was 7.33, the carbon dioxide pressure was 34 mm Hg (millimetres of mercury), and the concentration of bicarbonate ions in his body was found 20 mEq/L (milliequivalents of solute per litre). To determine: The explanation for the pH, carbon dioxide pressure, and the concentration of the bicarbonate ions, which were found to be 7.33, 34 mm Hg, and 20mEq/L, respectively.

Preoperative Diagnosis: Torn medial meniscus, left knee Postoperative Diagnosis: Combination horizontal cleavage tear/flap tear, posterior horn, medial meniscus, left knee. Operation: Arthroscopic subtotal medial meniscectomy, left knee Anesthetic: General endotracheal Description of Procedure: The patient was placed on the operating table in the supine position and general endotracheal anesthesia was administered. After an adequate level of anesthesia was achieved, the patient's left lower extremity was prepped with Betadine scrubbing solution, then draped in a sterile manner. Several sites were then infiltrated with 1% Xylocaine solution with Epinephrine to help control bleeding from stab wounds to be made at these sites. These stab wounds were made anterolaterally at the level of the superior pole of the patella for insertion of an irrigation catheter into the suprapatellar pouch area, anterolaterally at the level of the joint line for insertion of the scope and anteromedially at…
