You are on the scene of a motor-vehicle crash involving a van that carries patients to and from dialysis. The van has rolled over and, during the crash, the patient in the rear of the van sustained a nearly severed right arm. The patient is conscious, pale, and diaphoretic. He has an A/V shunt in the unaffected arm. Bleeding has been controlled to the best it can be, and immobilization is complete. What is your most prudent action regarding I/V access
A) Cannulate the shunt; the patient is obviously decompensating due to blood loss.
B) Look for other sites for venipuncture, such as intraosseous.
C) Call for a supervisor to make the decision to cannulate the shunt.
D) Now that the bleeding is controlled, there should be no need to access the shunt and risk its contamination.
