At the scene the man was complaining of severe chest pain and stated “I can’t get my breath.” When he arrives at the emergency department he only responds to painful stimulation, is breathing shallowly 16 bpm and has a SpO2 reading of 82% on a 100% NRB mask. On visual examination you note profound paradoxical movement of his left anterior chest wall. The physician orders STAT ABGs. Which of the following results would you expect with this patient?
