3) Hemorrhage & Shock Flashcards
Internal Hemorrhage being forced between tissue layers (fascia):
Internal Hemorrhage:
Pregnant internal hemorrhage worry:
Internal blood loss may be self limiting:
= Hematoma (pocket of blood) usally from arterie)
= Blood accumulation in interstitial spaces, forming visible contusions
= multiple uterine arteries in umbilical cord
= Large body cavities (chest, ABDMN, pelvis) have little resistance & internal blood loss may be severe.
Vascular system consists of 3 types of vessels:
Arteries, veins, Capillary:
blood vessels that are called the “capacitance system” are the:
A blockage in the delivery of oxygenated blood to the cells:
Vessels that’re only 1 cell thick, allow efficient gas and metabolic substrate M-nt into & out of interstitial space are:
= Arteries, Veins, Capillaries
= “A Away”, “V Venga”, “Cap C venioles & arterioles for exchanging”
= Veins
= Ischemia
= Capillaries
If a decision is made to use a tourniquet to stop external hemorrhage, an important point to remember is that:
The accumulation of lactic acid, potassium, and anaerobic metabolites can occur with tourniquet use
The middle, muscular layer of the blood vessels that controls lumen size:
Tunica Media
The blood volume of an infant or young child is proportionally:
Population most at risk for trauma & trauma death:
= ~20%> than that of an adult
= Young adult male
Network of fibers that stick together, form strong protein mesh, & entrap RBCs, to form a stronger, more durable clot is:
Platelets are Important for:
Protein fibers that trap red blood cells as part of the clotting process:
= Fibrin
= clotting and blood vessel repair
= Fibrin
During Stage 2 hemorrhage, PT’s pulse pressure will:
PT lost ~20% of total blood vol/ anxious, restless, & cool clammy skin is In which stage of hemorrhage is he?
= Be noticeably narrower
= Stage 2
Patients with epistaxis should be placed:
Nose bleeding result from injury, disease, or environmental factors:
= In the recovery position
= Epistaxis
Stroke volume is predicated by:
Amount of blood ejected by heart in one cardiac contraction:
Pressure w/in ventricles at the end of diastole:
Blood vol/ moved by heart in 1 min:
Measurement of peripheral vascular resistance is the:
Resistance a heart contraction must overcome in order to eject blood:
= Preload, afterload, and cardiac contractility
= Stroke Volume
= Preload
= Cardiac output
= Mean arterial pressure
= Afterload
ETCO2 Lvs in head-injured intubated PT shouldn’t drop below:
When vent/ing a adult PT, each breath should have tidal volume of:
= 30 mmHg
= approximately _500 mL’s.
Body maintaining steady, norm/ internal environment:
A condition in which the blood’s ability to clot is impaired:
The body’s response to stop the loss of blood:
Clotting phase when smooth blood vessel M. contracts <lumen size:
1 common factor hindering clotting process is:
aggregation:
= Homeostasis
= Coagulopathy
= Clotting
= Vascular phase
= Medications such as aspirin
= process of coming & sticking together
Precapillary sphincters dilate & permit blood flow through capillaries during times of low O2 & CO2 build up in cells b/c:
= release of chemical Histamine
CUPS acronym, the “P” stands for:
the “P” stands for: Potentially unstable
An abnormal internal or external discharge of blood:
Venous bleeding usually looks:
= Hemorrhage
= Dark red and flowing
A state of inadequate tissue perfusion:
The ultimate killer of all trauma victims is:
A precipitous drop in blood pressure signals which stage of shock?
Cutaneous vasoconstriction in the shock victim contributes to:
In irreversible shock, if aggressive resuscitation restores pulse & BP:
= Shock
= Shock
= Decompensated
= Hypothermia
= Death still occurs
Tension pneumo & pulmonary emboli is which type of shock?
Pericardial tamponade presents w/:
= Obstructive
= Becks triad JVD, tachycardia, hypotension, & Muffled heart tones
1st step used to control external bleeding is:
med w/ beneficial role in management of trauma/hemorrhagic shock:
A weak pulse:
= Direct pressure
= Tranexamic acid TXA
= Thready
If you suspect a pelvic fracture in your patient, you should:
Not compress or otherwise manipulate the pelvis
The molecule in the blood to which oxygen attaches is:
Able to live without oxygen:
Protein that spurs production of RBC in bone marrow:
= Hemoglobin
= Anaerobic
= Erythropoietin
Cardiogenic shock:
Has a high mortality rate
Septic shock
Toxins release affecting vascular system’s control of blood vessels
Recent evidence suggests that Mechanism of Injury:
may not be as good an injury severity predictor as once thought.
if one lung needs to be darted:
= dart the other lung
Sympathetic NS is the division of the autonomic nervous system that:
+ tropic effects, GI constriction, vasoconstriction, mydriasis
