He Fell Through Glass Table
White Male falls through glass table, severing brachial/axillary artery. EMS arrives at Trauma Center with critically ill pt actively hemorrhaging. Bleeding continues through failed pressure dressing. Trauma team attempts to apply a blood pressure cuff for tourniquet, but this fails due to proximity of wound to axilla/shoulder. Saphenous vein graph and repair in the operating room. Lucky lad to survive! |
