  Damage control surgery with delayed anastomosis would be a consideration

What was pH, temperature, blood loss and base excess during the procedure?

Dear all:
Last night a 19 y old, male patient arrived to our hospital with a GSW in his abdomen, BP 90/60, conscious but combative, maybe under the influence,he was resuscitated with a 1:1 scheme of PRBC and FFP, laparotomy was performed and the findings were a perforation of ascending colon, near hepatic flexure, another perforation at about 10 cm distally in the transverse colon, viability looked compromised so a right hemicolectomy was done with ileotransverso anastomosis, he also had a perforation and mesenteric compromise of jejunum, so a resection and anastomosis was done,and he also had a perforation of the third portion of the duodenum,grade II injury, a pyloric exclusion was done and gastrostomy and jejunostomy along with a two layer closure. Drainage was placed nearby duodenum closure.
Any thoughts or comments are welcomed.
