Review Question - QID 219134

It's 8 pm on a Sunday evening when a 22-year-old male presents to the trauma bay after being involved in a motor vehicle accident. The patient's orthopaedic injuries are shown in Figures A and B. His fast exam is positive with a CT scan confirming a liver laceration requiring an emergent ablation with interventional radiology. His serum lactate is 6 mmol/L (normal < 1mmol/L) and base excess is -8.1 mmol/L (normal -2 to +2 mol/L). The trauma team states he could be ready for the OR in 2-3 hours to allow interventional radiology to perform their procedure first. Otherwise, the trauma team does not have any operative interventions planned. Which of the following is true regarding this injury?
