he patient is on non- rebreather mask and the vital parameters are: Temperature- 37.7 degree centigrade Heart rate - 128 beats/ minute Respiratory rate - 25 breaths/ minute Blood pressure - 100/60 mmHg And saturation - 92% 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. Using the ABC prioritization, identify the life threatening injuries of the patient. Why? A-airway B-Breathing C-circulation
