A 22-year-old man sustains a shotgun wound to the left shoulder. His blood pressure is initially 80/40. After two liters of Ringer's lactate solution his blood pressure increases to 122/84. His pulse rate is now 100 beats per minute and his respiratory rate is 28 breaths per minute. His breath sounds are decreased in the left hemithorax, and a closed tube thoracostomy is performed with the return of a small amount of blood with no air leak.
