The patient exhibited rapidly worsening hemodynamic instability with signs consistent with an ongoing intra-abdominal catastrophe, posing an immediate threat to life. A positive FAST exam and failure to respond adequately to aggressive resuscitation indicated likely active hemorrhage, rendering further non-operative observation or transport for advanced imaging unsafe. Given the time-critical nature and the risk of deterioration during additional diagnostics, immediate operative intervention offered the best chance to control the source and stabilize the patient. Emergency exception to informed consent was applied per protocol; massive transfusion and airway protocols were initiated, with an experienced team and a sterile OR ready. Security and transport coordination ensured a controlled, sterile pathway to the OR while maintaining facility safety.
