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)-

Systolic is the second or lower number correct? I can take a bp but I forgot which is which.
The bleeder wound (come to find out) did puncture a lung however he had good respatory. A mild cough but no blood in his cough.
The entire thing was kinda wierd I have never seen a wound just start bleeding again once a person was cleared by the ER. But oh well...the guy is doing good now, well expect for the attempted muder charges he faces.
