What is the Rule of Nines?
100

What is Tension Pneumothorax?
100
The two solid organs most often injured in the abdomen
What are the Liver and Spleen?
100
Stage of shock associated with some decreased blood flow and perfusion to the tissues
What is Compensated Shock?
100
An injury produced by crushing and stretching forces of a penetrating object that results in some form of tissue disruption
What is Penetrating Trauma?
200
Burns that encircle a body part, producing a tourniquet-like effect that may quickly compromise circulation
What is Circumferential Burns?
200
A chest wall injury in which 3 or more adjacent ribs are fractured in 2 or more places resulting in paradoxical motion
What is Flail Chest?
200
The major cause of symptoms in a solid organ injury
What is Hemorrhage?
200
Type of shock also known as spinal cord, distributive, or vasogenic shock, results from vasomotor paralysis below the level of injury
What is Neurogenic Shock?
200
A temporary or permanent opening produced by a force that pushes body tissues laterally away from the track of a projectile
What is Cavitation?
300
A method used to estimate burn injury that assigns specific numbers to each body part and that accounts for developmental changes in percentages of body surface area
What is Lund and Browder Chart?
300
Combination of 3 symptoms: elevated central venous pressure, muffled heart sounds, and hypotension
What is Beck's Triad?
300
Sepsis, wound infection, and abscess formation are the primary concern for injuries to these organs
What is Hollow Organs?
300
Stage of Shock characterized by the progression of cellular ischemia and necrosis and subsequent death, even with oxygenation and perfusion restored
What is Irreversible Shock?
300
The process of predicting injury patterns that can result from the forces and motions of energy
What is Kinematics?
400
Four types of burns
What is Thermal Burns, Chemical Burns, Electrical Burns and Radiation Burns
400
Signs and Symptoms: abdominal pain, shortness of breath, decreased breath sounds, hollow or empty appearing abdomen
What is Diaphragmatic Rupture?
400
Protrusion of an internal organ or the peritoneal contents through a wound or surgical incision, especially in the abdominal wall
What is Evisceration?
400
Type of Shock most often caused by hemorrhage, dehydration, sever diarrhea and vomiting
What is Hypovolemic Shock?
400
All explosion related injuries, illnesses, or diseases that are not caused by primary, secondary or tertiary mechanisms
What is Quaternary Blast Injury?
500
Surgical incision into necrotic tissue caused by a severe burn; sometimes necessary to prevent edema from building up sufficient interstitial pressure to impair capillary filling and cause ischemia
What is Escharotomy?
500
A severe crushing injury to the chest and abdomen that causes an increase in the intrathoracic pressure. The increased intrathoracic pressure forces blood from the right side of the heart into the veins of the upper thorax, neck, and face
What is Traumatic Asphyxia?
500
Inflammation of the serous membrane Signs and Symptoms: Pain, tenderness on percussion or palpation, guarding, rigidity, fever, and distention
What is Peritonitis?
500
Type of Shock that results when the cardiac pump cannot deliver adequate circulating blood volume for tissue perfusion
What is Cardiogenic Shock?
500
Occur when victims are propelled through space by an explosion and strike a stationary object, injuries are similar to those from vertical falls
What is Tertiary Blast Injury?
