formulas to know ;)
a collection of blood between the dura and the brain, a space normally occupied by a thin cushion of fluid
subdural hematoma
age, LOC at time of admission, NIHSS
predictor of stroke outcome
full head and neck control
C5
superficial injuries that involve only the outermost layer of skin, painful
1st degree burns
follows an internal pathway and can fracture bones
electrical burns
consequence of aging process, injury may have been forgotten
Chronic subdural hematoma
most common side effect of T-pa
bleeding
Full-hand and finger control; use of intercostal and thoracic muscle, manual wheelchair use
T1- T5

-Darkened oral and nasal membranes
chest and neck burns
upper airway injuries indicators
brain is bruised/ damaged
characterized by loss of consciousness associated with stupor and confusion

what to monitor for in burn patient
body temperature
electrolyte imbalances
fluid imbalances
ventilatory support, seizure prevention, fluid and electrolyte maintenance, nutritional support, and management of pain and anxiety
treatment of ICP
system is based on anatomic regions, each representing approximately 9% of the TBSA, allowing clinicians to rapidly estimate percent of body burned
rule of 9
Full leg, foot, and ankle control; innervation of perineal muscles for bowel, bladder, and sexual function, can ambulate
S1-S5
total destruction of the epidermis, dermis, and, in some cases, damage of underlying tissue. Wound color ranges widely from pale white to red, brown, or charred
3rd degree
include establishing an airway, supplying oxygen (100% oxygen if CO poisoning is suspected), inserting at least one large-bore IV catheter for fluid administration, and covering the wound with a clean, dry cloth or gauze.
