Q

Tension Pneumothorax

A

May result from a simple, spontaneous or open
Aris able to enter the pearl space, but not leave. This causes a complete lung collapse
Puts pressure on mediastinum and opposite lung

16
Q

Chest tube

A

Advance skill
I will large floor attic catheter through the pleural space to release air/blood inserted in the second intercostal space mid clavicle for air or fifth interCostal space midaxillary for blood

17
Q

Flail chest

A

No treatment for flail chest, but should use peep
Two or more broken ribs in two or more places
Paradox, motion
Can lead to tension pnuemotharx

18
Q

Aortic dissection

A

Most common cause of immediate death in mVcs
Usually caused by deceleration injury’s

19
Q

Pulmonary contusion

A

Common chest injury resulting from blunt force
Can mimic cardiac chest pain

20
Q

Cardiac contusion

A

Often associated with other chest injuries
Is Lethal
Basically the same as a mI
Assume all patients who applied force chest trauma, have a cardiac contusion, unless proven otherwise
Minute cardiac chest pain
ECGs can mimic AMI

21
Q

Diaphragmatic tear

A

Complete or partial
Voluntary or involuntary
Happens to the blunt force, trauma, or enter adomino pressure
May allow enter Avenue organs to enter the thoracic cavity

22
Q

Herna

A

Organs or where they’re not supposed to be

23
Q

Signs and symptoms of a diaphragm tear

A

Bowel sounds in the thorax

24
Q

Do you take spinal motion restriction with isolated, penetrating, trama trauma

A

No

25
Q

Where are the three places you see JVD

A

Right heart failure
Tension pnemo lung sounds
Pericardial tamp no lung sounds

26
Q

Pericardial tamponade

A

Sac around the heart becomes filled with blood paraicaral sac
plus paradoxis each breath in the past disappears

27
Q

Becks triad

A

Lower bp
Jvd
Muffed heart sounds

28
Q

Pulses paradoxus

A

Each breath in Pulse is disappear put more pressure on the ballon around the heart

29
Q

Pulses pressure

A

pulse pressure is where your pulse pressure is 1/4 or less of your systolic pressure

30
Q

Paradoxical motion

A

The chest rises opposite to what it should while breathing in and out
