Head/Spine
a significant role of the temoporal lobe
speech
2 injury pathologies causing JVD
cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax
these types of burns get wet dressings
superficial
flattened appearance of the face and loss of sensation over the cheek suggests this type of fracture
zygomatic fracture
this fracture encircles the bone
spiral fracture
2 signs of classic neurogenic schock that are different from hemorrhagic shock
bradycardia, skin flushed below the injury site
this is the definition of flail chest
2 or more adjacent ribs fractured in 2 or more places. free floating segment
thermal burn most commonly associated with inhalation injury
steam burn
alkali or strong acid eye burns should be irrigated for at least this long
20 minutes
difference between dressing and bandage
dressing directly covers wound and controls bleeding. bandage keeps dressing in place
criteria to leave a helmet in place
Does not affect airway, Tight fitting, spinal alignment can be maintained, can be secured to SMR device
these findings indicate Beck's triad
muffled heart tones, hypotension, jvd
this is a criterion for major burns
table pg1903
an example of one complication, other than massive bleeding, that can occur if carotid or vertebral artery are injured
cerebral hypoxia, air embolism, infarct, permanent neurologic impairment
give me two findings of local infection and give me 2 findings of systemic infection
redness, erythema, streaks, pus, edema
fever, chills, hypotension, tachycardia
bleeding within the brain tissue
intracerebral hematoma
thorax receives a direct blow during the heart's repolarization and may initiate immediate cardiac arrest
commotio cordis
difference in entrance vs exit burn in an electrical burn
cardinal sign of injury to the genitourinary tract
hematuria
The destruction of muscle tissue leading to a release of potassium and myoglobin
rhabdomyolysis
brown-sequard syndrome
Severe force is applied to the thorax, forcing blood from the great vessels and back to into the head and neck
traumatic asphyxia
4.5, 9, 9, 1, 9 9 = 41.5
suspect injuries to either of these organs with lower rib fractures
spleen or liver
The 6 P's of compartment syndrome
Pain, Pallor, Pressure, Paresthesia, Pulselessness, Paralysis
