25
Posterior chamber
Between iris and lens filled with vitreous humor jellylike substance that maintains shape of eye
26
Ear
External, middle, internal
27
Pinna
Outside cartilage of ear
28
Occlusive dressing
Tracheal neck wound
29
Cochlea
Shell shaped structure in inner ear to vibrate and contains fluid to sense balance
30
Blowout Fracture
Fracture to orbital floor results in transmission of forces away from the eyeball itself
31
The nose
One of two primary entry points for oxygen rich air
32
Paranasal Sinuses
Lined with mucous membranes that decrease weight of skull and provide resonance for voice
33
Hyoid Bone
Floats in the superior aspect of the neck just below the mandible
34
Diffuse axonal injury
Stretching of tissue of brain and the brain twists especially at brainstem causing compression and tension of stem when twisting
35
Cornea
Transparent covering of the eye
36
Epidural Hematoma
Accumulation of blood between skull and dura mater | Result of blow to the head
37
Iris
Color of eye
38
Maxilla Fracture
Suspect closed head injury, airway compromise
39
Flexion injuries
Neck moving forward in collision More prevalent cause of injury. -collars prevent movement down
40
Posterior chamber
Between iris and lens filled with vitreous humor jellylike substance that maintains shape of eye
41
Spinal Cord concussion
Temporary contusion lasting 24-48 hours of paralysis
42
Pinna
Outside cartilage of ear
43
C 5
Keeps the diaphragm alive | Dermatone for the respiratory tract
44
Cochlea
Shell shaped structure in inner ear to vibrate and contains fluid to sense balance
45
LE Fort Fractures
One Two and a Three One is low on maxilla Two is pyramid through orbits Three is across orbits
46
Dipllopia
Double vision
47
Hyphema
Bleeding into anterior chamber and often follows blunt trauma
48
Eurogenic Shock Assesment
Vessels below injury dilate and have terrible blood pressure but red skin and look perfumed
49
Retinal Detachement
Separation of inner layers of retina from underlying retina
50
Assess Eyes for
``` Orbital Rim Eyelids Corneas Conjuctiva Globes Pupils Eye Movements Visual Acuity ```
51
Management
Never exert pressure on or manipulate injured globe If part of globe is exposed: apply moist sterile dressing to prevent drying Cover eye with metal shield, cup or dressing. Apply soft dressings to both eyes and prompt transport
52
Sympathetic Eye Movement
Movement of both eyes in unison
53
Ruptured Eardrum
Perforation of the tympanic membrane can result from blows strong enough that could possible rupture other hollow organs such as lungs
54
CSF
Can be tested with glucometer
55
Pinna avulsion
Partially avulsed: realign ear and then bandage with moist dressing Completely avulsed: retrieve avulsed part, saline moistened gauze and place in plastic bag then put bag on ice
56
Bulky dressing
Laceration to neck
57
Sprain
Stretch of muscle
58
Strain
Tear of muscle
59
Esophageal Perfoartion
Can result in mediastinitis, an inflammation of the mediastinum due to leakage of gastric contents into thoracic cavity
60
Bulky dressing
Laceration to neck
61
Sprain
Stretch of muscle
62
Strain
Tear of muscle
63
Esophageal Perfoartion
Can result in mediastinitis, an inflammation of the mediastinum due to leakage of gastric contents into thoracic cavity
64
Partial pressure of brain with head injuries
Hyperventilate shifts oxygen disassociation curve yielding less oxygen to tissue and more to the fluid causing decrease in ICP. Oxygen causes vasoconstriction which decreases fluid in the head
65
Diffuse shearing
Tearing of the brain
66
Epidural Hematoma
Accumulation of blood between skull and dura mater
67
Subdural Hematoma
Under occipital
68
Avulsion
Devolving of tissue
69
Flexion injuries
Neck moving forward in collision
70
Extension
Whiplash injuries going backwards
71
Cord Laceration
Bone or projectile enters spinal cord. Once transacted it is gone forever
72
Anterior Cord syndrome
Loss of movement of extremities
73
Posterior cord syndrome
Loss of sensation of extremities
74
Cauda Equina Syndrme
Located at base of spine (tail bone) where the Nerves began to separate into smaller nerves
75
Brown Sequard Syndrome
Partial direction of cord. Loss of sensation of one half and loss of movement of one side of the body
76
Trauma in water
Board patient in water. | Board is buoyant on water
