I'm kinda suprised they didn't suture that one. For now, you guys seem GTG. If it starts bleeding again, I'd call EMS. He might need more fluids, it further treatment. I had many calls to the jail for pts. that were worst off than they looked. You have good judgment, so trust it. You've done good, don't doubt yourself.

Keep an eye on color, breathing, alertness, etc. I take it there weren't any bubbles coming from it? A little off from the lung, I know, but it's hard to tell how deep it is.
