Chapter 1 Flashcards
24 yr old woman scheduled for an elective cholecystectomy. The best method of identifying a potential bleeder is which of the ff?
A complete history and PE
The most common indication for blood transfusion in surgical procedure?
Volume replacement
After undergoin transurethral resection of the prostate, a 65 yr old man experiences excessive bleeding attributed to fibrinolysis. It is appropriate to administer?
AMINOCAPROIC ACID
Most important management of DIC
Treatment of underlying cause
22 yr old man is brought to the ER in profound shock after a fall from the fourth floor of a building. After resuscitation, small bowel resection and hepatic segmentectomy are performed at laparotomy. He receives 15U of packed RBC,M4U of fresh frozen plasma and 8L of Ringers lactate. On closure diffuse oozing of blood is noted. What is the most likely dx?
PLATELET DEFICIENCY
Most important management of immediate transfusion reation?
Stop the transfusion: initiate diuresis, alkaline urine
64 yr woman undergoing radical hysterectomy under GA is transfused with 2 U of packed RBC. A hemolytic transfusion reaction during anesthesia will characterized by
BLEEDING AND HYPOTENSION
Shock that occurs in the setting of adequate intravascular volume?
Cardiogenic shock
30 yr old brought to ER following high speed car accident. He was the driver and the windshield of the car was broken. On exam, alert, awake, oriented and no respi distress. Extremities unable to move, warm and pink. Vital signs on admission HR 54bpm and BP 70/40mmHg
NEUROGENIC SHOCK
The preferred test in the diagnosis of cardiac tamponade?
ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
Persistentlymelevated base deficit in a trauma patient is usually due to
ONGOING BLEEDING
First priority in the the treatment of trauma?
Ensuring an adequate airway
Treatment of choice for patients with Von Willebrand’s disease?
Intermediate purity Factor VIII/DDAVP
The most direct method to determine the presence of blood within the pericardium
Pericardial window
32 yr old female fails from the 10th floor of the building in suicide attempt. Px obvious head and extremity inuries. Primary survey reveals that the patient is totally apneic. By which method is the immediate need for a definitive aiway in the px
OROTRACHEAL INTUBATION
The most common indication for intubation
ALTERED MENTAL STATUS
Surgical aiway choice in patients with laryngeal fractures?
TRACHEOSTOMY
Is the most common method used to establish definitive airway
OROTRACHEAL INTUBATION
85 yr old ventilator-dependent male was endotracheallymintubatedn10 days ago. Unresponsive and not candidate for early intubation. ICU attending elects to perform tracheostomy at th bedside.mduring procedure copious dark blood is encountered.
ANTERIOR JUGULAR VEIN
Immediate management of px with tension pneumothorax
NEEDLE THORACOSTOMY (2nd ICS MCL)
Thoracostomy
4th or 5th ICS (MAL)
The higher or farther from the diaphragm
Most important indication for CTT
Absent breath sounds
Block Subclavian artery
Trapdoor thoracotomy
Lower limit of pleura/lung reflection at the MIDCLAVICULAR LINE
Lung 6th rib
Pleura 8th rib
Lower limit of pleur/lung reflection at the lateral border of erector spine
LUNG 10th rib
PLEURA 12th rib
Flail chest injuries compromises ventilation because of
UNDERLYING LUNG CONTUSION
Trauma px with hypotension have lost approximately how much of blood volume
30-40% (CLASS III SHOCK)
Saphenous vein cutdown
1cm SUPERIOR AND ANTERIOR MEDIAL MALLEOLUS
INTRAOSSEUS INFUSION (
The most reliable indicator of organ perfusion during resuscitation
Urine output
The most common cause of cardiogenic shock or cardiac failure in trauma patients
TENSION PNEUMOTHORAX
Priormto catheterization in stable patients at risk for urethral injury, one should perform
Urethrogram
Contraindications to urethral catheterization
Blood at the meatus
Scrotal or perineal hematoma
High riding prostate
Tx: SUPRAPUBIC CYSTOSTOMY
Gold standard in the diagnosis of presence of intra-abdominal injuries
DPL
Hemobilia is characterized by the triad of
RUQ pain, UGIB, jaundice (QUINCKE’s triad)
Tx: selective arteriogram + embolization
Most commonly injured part of the diaphragm
LEFT
Not protected; right covered by liver
Duodenal hematoma is best diagnosed by
BARIUM/CONTRAST STUDY (COILED SPRING SIGN)
The Pringle maneuver is used to control bleeding coming from
