Doc,
Agree with watch for Pneumothorax. Agree with which vessel to ligate. (One that is leaking the most.) Great scenario.

I put neuro doc on the list because of "possible" head injury secondary to blast. Not necessarily arm reattachment.

Anything I can do in the field to reduce acidosis complications besides adequate respirations and fluids? Monitoring In and Out. We have Foleys if we have time.

With my air job we start "war wound" antibiotic therapy. (We have an RN on board.)

On a side note: What happened with the Neck scenario one you did earlier?

Thanks Doc.
