Paul Wheat (PW) is a 23 y/o male who suffered a hit-and-run auto-pedestrian accident and sustained multiple abrasions, a concussion, and a deep laceration of his left thigh. He was discovered approximately 2 hours after the incident and is now in the emergency room [ER]. Paul’s initial diagnostic workup, vital signs and lab work reveal a 2500 mL blood loss. A urinary catheter is inserted to monitor urine output. Currently, Paul’s urine output is 15 mL/hr and is clear but dark amber in color.
Identify 3 other clinical problems (adverse outcomes) that may develop if PW’s renal function does not return to normal but continues to deteriorate?
