How many units of blood was given by the flight crew? Has he been typed/crossed? How much crystalloids have been given?
Start with 2 units O Neg (if not T/C yet.) If T/C complete then admin appropriate.
H&H?
ETOH?
Drugs?
Medications?
History of how this happened?
I would agree with the pneumatic TQ for hemorrhage control, instead of the use of an HCA. Obtain a good view of the wound and its extend, and any other damage to surrounding structures. Depending on the physical exam films would also be in order.
