Thoracoabdominal stab wound
Okay, so a young 17 year old male comes in with a stab wound to his thoraco-abdominal region. He was a "drop off" at the ER's front doors and left by his "friends". I heard "Trauma Team to the emergency department NOW!" overhead and immediately went to see what was happening.
This is what I found on arrival. I took a picture. He only complained of left chest wall pain and slight SOB.
Thoughts on how you would handle this?
Oh . . . and yes, that is what you think it is hanging out!
