Question

Vitals Signs

On a non-rebreather mask, the heart rate was 128, the blood pressure was 100/60, respiratory rate was 25, temperature was 37.7°C, and SpO2 was 92 percent. The initial survey reveals a patent airway with no evidence of current obstruction. Breathing is tachypneic and regular, with accessory muscle use indicating increased effort. Circulation characterized by tachycardia and mild hypotension. There are 1+ distal pulses bilaterally, and the skin is warm and dry. At the ER, an ECG reveals sinus tachycardia of 129, which resolves without any prior medical management. Sinus at 98 beats per minute.

Determine/Identify the life threatening injuries of the patient using ABC and why?
