Q

Fractured Tooth S&Sx

A 
# may occur through enamel, dentin, pulp or root of tooth 
# to enamel causes no symptoms, can be smoothed by dentist to prevent injury to lips & oral cavity
# to dentin cause pain & increase sensitivity to cold & heat
# to pulp or root lead to severe pain & sensitivity
21
Q

Fractured Tooth Management

A

Refer to dentist

22
Q

What are some RED FLAGS when it comes to Ear conditions?

A

Bleeding/CSF from ear
Feeling of fullness in ear;vertigo
Bleeding/swelling behind ear (battle sign)
Foreign body in the ear which cannot be removed easily
Hematoma or swelling that removes the creases of outer ear
Popping or itching the ear
Tinnitus or hearing impairment
Pain when earlobe is pulled

23
Q

External Ear Conditions Etiology

A 
Auricular hematoma (cauliflower ear) caused by repeated blunt trauma that pulls cartilage away from perichondrium
Hematoma forms btwn perichondrium & cartilage of ear & compromises blood supply to cartilage 
Common in wrestlers who do not wear head gear
24
External Ear Conditions S&Sx
Outer ear is red, puffy & swollen | If left untreated, hematoma forms fibrosis in overlying skin leading to necrosis of Auricular cartilage
25
External Ear Conditions Management
Icing If swelling, refer to MD for draining Wear protective head gear
26
Internal Ear Conditions Etiology
``` Blow to ear Pressure changes (diving/scuba diving) Infection (may damage the external auditory eardrum) ```
27
Internal Ear Conditions S&Sx
Intense pain in ear, feeling of fullness, nausea, tinnitus, dizziness or loss of hearing
28
Internal Ear Conditions Management
Elevated by MD Most minor ruptures of eardrum heal spontaneously Larger ruptures may require surgical repair
29
Otitis Externa Etiology
Bacterial infection that involves lining of external auditory canal Higher prevalence among water sport athletes Occurs in individual who fails to dry ear canals
30
Otitis Externa S&Sx
Pain in acute cases Itching in chronic cases w/discomfort & pain 2nd May/may not be a discharge of pus Gentle pressure around auditory opening & pulling on the pinna causes increase pain Left untreated, infection can spread to middle ear causing balance disturbances/hearing loss
31
Otitis Externa Management
Custom ear plugs Ear drops that contain an acidifying agent, either aluminum acetate or vinegar Homemade remedy
32
RED FLAGS for Eye Conditions
Visual disturbances or loss of vision Blood in anterior chamber Unequal pupils/bilateral dilated pupils Irregular eye movement/failure to adjust to light Severe ecchymosis & swelling (raccoon eyes)
33
Periorbital Ecchymosis Etiology
Direct trauma to external eye region | Area high vascularity & when impacted can produce capillary bleeding in tissue space
34
Periorbital Ecchymosis S&Sx
Significant swelling & hemorrhage in surrounding eyelids | Impact can lead to faulty vision
35
Periorbital Ecchymosis Management
``` Inspection for obvious abnormalities Palpation of orbit for # Pupillary response to light Ice application Referral to eye specialist to R/O # or injury to globe ```
36
Foreign Bodies Etiology
Dust/dirt is frequent occurrence
37
Foreign Bodies S&Sx
Intense pain & tearing | Individual may attempt to remove substance by rubbing eyes
38
Foreign Bodies Management
If body not embedded, should be removed | Inspect cornea for scratches, abrasions or lacerations
39
Sty Etiology
Infection of sebaceous gland & caused by bacteria | Improper/incomplete removal of eye make-up, use of out dated or infected, poor eyelid hygiene
40
Sty S&Sx
Red nodule that will progress into painful pustule Painful to touch & may elicit a scratchy sensation on eyeball Crusting of eyelid margins, burning in eye, blurred vision & mucous discharge
41
Sty Management
Warm, moist compass to the eye | Pustule doesn't improve within 2 days refer to MD
42
Subconjunctival Hemorrhage Etiology
Direct trauma | More common in individual w/ high BP
43
Subconjunctival Hemorrhage S&Sx
Several small capillaries rupture, making the white sclera of eye appear red, blotchy, inflamed
44
Subconjunctival Hemorrhage Management
Harmless condition requires no Rx & resolves spontaneously in 1-3 weeks If blurred vision, pain, limited eye movement or blood in anterior chambers is present refer to ophthalmologist
45
Hemorrhage in Anterior Chamber Etiology
Hyphema usually results from blunt trauma caused by small ball, hockey puck/stick
46
Hemorrhage in Anterior Chamber S&Sx
Red tinge in anterior chamber within few hours blood begins to settle into anterior chamber giving eye presence of a meniscus
47
Hemorrhage in Anterior Chamber Management
Patch both eyes Immediate referral Activate EAP Conditions require hospitalization, bed rest, bilateral patching of eye & sedation
48
Detached Retina Etiology
Damage to posterior segment of eye can occur w/ or w/o trauma Detached retina occurs when fluid seeps into retinal break & separates the nerosensory retina from the retinal epithelium Can take days or weeks following initial trauma
49
Detached Retina S&Sx
``` Results in (+) scotoma (blind spot) at edge of visual field As detachment progress, individual frequently describes conductor ad a 'curtain over their eyes' ```
50
Detached Retina Management
Patch both eyes & immediate referral to an ophthalmologist b/c surgery is often necessary
51
Orbital Blowout # Etiology
Caused by blunt force to eye or impact force that drives the orbital contents posteriorly against orbital wall Increase pressure is released to area of least resistance, typically inferior orbital floor
