Your patient has a bullet wound to her chest from a handgun. You can hear air moving in and out of the opening. Why is it important to appropriately seal the wound so air doesn't enter the chest cavity?
◦ Air entering the chest cavity can increase pressure in the chest, putting pressure on the diaphragm.
◦ Air entering the chest cavity can bring in contaminants and cause infection.
◦ Air entering the chest cavity can increase pressure within the chest and collapse a lung.
◦ Air entering the chest cavity can overinflate the lung on the injured side.
