Like I said it seems like you guys did ok. Saved you the risk and hassle of transport back to ER in anycase.
How did your guy do anyway?
BTW, BP q hour x 4 might be appropriate in your situation given the circumstances. A lowering systolic pressure, narrowing pulse gap, and tachcardia would be symptoms of concern among others (ie pallor, decreaseed mentation, decreased heart tones, tachnypea etc etc).
Of course nothing is a replacement for higher care (qualifyer)-
