Five phases of a mvc
One deceleration of the car Abrupt stop Deacceleration of the body Compression trauma Deacceleration of internal organs Moving body parts are roughly stop tears and sharing injuries Secondary collision Spinal and head trauma occur, frontal lobe inside the perennial ridge optical hits the optical ridge in the cranium contra coupe Fifth phase additional impact pelvic injury
26
Shearing
Tissue slide apart in opposite directions
27
Compression
Break of a bone from pressure Bone collapse
28
Crushing
Direct force direct tissue damage
29
Laceration
Deep tear in skin and tissue
30
Disc herniation
At c11
31
Rise eyes
5 20 min strong acid or base
32
Arterial Venus Capillary bleed
Bright, red sporting Dark red steady flow Oozing
33
Avulsion
Flap of skin reposition i if possible, dress and bandage
34
How much blood can fit in a pelvis?
2 to 3 L each break can be 500 Miles
35
Solid versus hollow organs
Spleen, liver kidney Stomach bowel
36
Simple/commuinuted
Still in alignment Break a long, many lines
37
Transvereve vs oblique
90° break 0 to 90° break
38
Collies versus Greenstick
Dispose wrist fracture Partial fracture from Bending
39
Wet dressing for expose spelled yes or no
Yes
40
Lordosis Kyphosis Scoliosis
But out Hunchback A s spine
41
Aerobic versus anaerobic
Anaerobic more waste products
42
How much is a significant loss of blood?
1 L or roughly 20%
43
How much does a femur hold?
1.5
44
Compartment
5 p pain, pallor pulselessness paralysis Parasthesia Poikilothermia Increased pressure within a closed compartment, usually a limb with decreasing blood flow leading to a ischaemia and Nelcrosis Example tight casts, severe burns, fractures
45
Crush syndrome
Is prolonged compression of large muscle groups leading to muscle necrosis How long do entrapment Swelling and bruising, dark colored, urine weakness, arrhythmias hypotension
46
Impact fracture
End of the Bone are driven into each other
47
Spiral fracture
Twisting breaking off in torque or rotation
48
fBAO
Second to hypoxia Can have JVD Chest thrust for a pregancy and fat people Let them cough it out first increase CO2 Arrhythmia VTac Defib Asystole
49
Pneumo simple
Air leak outside of the lungs Partial or complete collapse of the lung Most common causes rib factors Decrease breath sounds
50
Spontaneous pneumo
Webburst, allowing air to escape the long and enter the pleural space Decrease breath sounds Unilateral chest rise Subcutaneous emphysema Tall, thin, young males, who smoke
51
Open Pune ( sucking chest wound)
Asherman seal Sam seal one-way valve three sided occlusive dressing ( if drainage is needed) Four sided dressing ?. NRB 2IV
52
Tension pneumo
JVD Absent breath sounds Increased work of breathing Tracheal deviation very late sign Loss of radial pulses ALOC Hyperresonace ( hey abnormally, loud, booming or low pitch sound). 45° angle NRB 12 to 15
53
Hemo pneu
Dull breath sounds No JVD Blood in the pleural space same symptoms as all the otherPune minus JVD Each throw out a cavity can hold 3000cc Considered a massive at 1000ml
54
Penetrating, thoracic trauma
Do not take SMR with isolated, penetrating,trauma
55
Diaphragm tear
Usually from blunt Vowel sounds in the thorax Loss of peripheral pulses Abdo dissension BVMIVALS
