So I have a case with a patient who was involved in a car accident. CT shows ruptur of the liver. Skin isn't punctured but bruised.
His BP is 90/50, puls 140, respiratory rate of 28 and superficial, SAT 90% and temperature 37.9 C.
Hgb 4,3 mmol/l, Ka 3,7 mmol/l, Na 140 mmol/l, Creatinine 80 umol/l, P-glucose 4,0 mmol/l.
I would expect P-glucose to be high in response to volume loss - why is it so low?
And also is the altered temperature just a natural reaction to trauma or what are the...
Hypovolemic shock
