CN findings with basilar skull fx
V VII VII VIII hearing loss nystagmus, ataxia, CSF leaks, XR and CT can be negative - CT has air fluid levels in sphenoid sinus, heomotypmanum, ring test for CSF- halo sign of clear fluid beyond blood tinged ring , battle sign (blood behind ear) and - racoon eyes
herniation affects which pupil
ipsilateral
which head bleed ccrosses suture lines
subdural
central herniation, tonsillar, transtentorial
central - cn VI palsy, tonsilar- respiratory arrest, foramen magnum, transtentorial - MC - temporal lobe uncus through tentorial notch - CN III ipsilarfixed dilated
treatment for immediate post traumatic head trauma seizure
none
complication of skull fracture in kids
growing fx- leptomeningeal cyst that enlarges, assn with tear in dura- have to re-xray fractures
grade III concussion
LOC - no sports- concern for second imapact syndrome -
post concussive sydnrome
no hard neuro defeicits like ataxia
machinary murmur
air embolism - air in RV - LL trendelenburg- trap airbubble in apical of RV away from outfloe tract
neck zones
zone 1- below cricoid cartilage, zone 2 madible to cricoid- mc - zone 3 - above angle of mandible
thoracotomy incision
5th ICS, open pericardium verically, anteriot to phrenic nerve
scapular fracture
associatd with occult chest injury - thoracic trauma
1nd 2nd rib fx
associated vascular injury- myocardial contusion, bronchiael tear, vascular injury
main cause of hypoxia in flail chest
pulmonary contusion - also dec vent and venous return- tx direct pressure, intubate, chest tube
continuouos bubbling of chest tube
bronchopleural fistula, tracheobroncheal injury, occurs within 2 cm of carina , assn hamans crunch
thoracotomy indicated if chest tube puts out what
1500 initial or 100 hr for 6 hrs
NG tube coiled in chest
diaphragm injury
left apical cap
thraumatic dissection
hypotension, JVD, muffled heart sounds
cardiac tamonadde- pulsus paradoxus - weaker pulse, lower systolic pressure with inspiration, electtrical alterenans- alteranting QRS amplitude
EKG finding myocardil contusion
new bundle branch bock, PVCs, heart block
injures associated with seatbelt sign
mesenteric laceration, viscus tear, ruptured diaphragm, CHANCE FX - duodenu/pancreas
indications for trauma ex lap
evisceratio, GSW, impalement, gross blood by NG, rectal, positive fast if unstable
grey turners sign
flank bruising, rp hematoma- ectpic, hemorrhagic pancreatiits, trauma, post cardiac cath patient
kehr sign
left shoulder pain due to subdiaphgram irriation or splenic supture
cullens sign
periumbilical ecchymosis in hemorrhagic pancreatitis, ectopic pregnancy
rovsings sign
RLQ pain with LLQ palpation due to peritoneal irriation
cancer related tumor etiology for spinal cord compression
lung, breast, prostate, usually mets to thoracic
cancer patietn with dyspnea/cp
pericardial effusion/tamponade- lung and breast- radiation and chemo - low QRS voltage, JVD, hypotension, diminished heart sounds, pulsus paradoxus
mcc SVC syndrome, edema of face
bronchogenic lung ca
symptomatic hypercalcemia
cancer patinet - tumor PTHrP- mimics hyperPTH mcc, also osteo mets to bone
