QID 211366 (Type "211366" in App Search)
A 69-year-old man presents with the injury depicted in Figures A and B after a fall from his attic. On initial presentation, his lower extremity strength is grade 3/5 but has full sensation in bilateral lower extremities. When his indwelling urinary catheter is pulled, his anal sphincter tightens. He remains bed-bound for the next 4 days and unfortunately develops aspiration pneumonia, requiring urgent intubation and increased positive end-expiratory pressures and a high ventilatory rate to keep him oxygenated. He remains febrile to 39°C, has a pulse rate of 130 bpm, and requires high dose pressors to keep his mean arterial pressure above 65 mmHg. Laboratory markers include WBC 18,000 with 95% PMNs, ESR 120 mm/h, and CRP 200 mg/L. Which of the following findings would most likely be observed in the type of shock this patient is currently in?
  • A
