39
Q

Flexion injuries

A

Neck moving forward in collision
More prevalent cause of injury.

Two is pyramid through orbits
Three is across orbits

46
Q

Dipllopia

A

Double vision

47
Q

Hyphema

A

Bleeding into anterior chamber and often follows blunt trauma

48
Q

Eurogenic Shock Assesment

A

Vessels below injury dilate and have terrible blood pressure but red skin and look perfumed

49
Q

Retinal Detachement

A

Separation of inner layers of retina from underlying retina

50
Q

Assess Eyes for

A 
Orbital Rim
Eyelids
Corneas
Conjuctiva
Globes
Pupils
Eye Movements
Visual Acuity
51
Q

Management

A

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
Q

Sympathetic Eye Movement

A

Movement of both eyes in unison

53
Q

Ruptured Eardrum

A

Perforation of the tympanic membrane can result from blows strong enough that could possible rupture other hollow organs such as lungs

54
Q

CSF

A

Can be tested with glucometer

55
Q

Pinna avulsion

A

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
Q

Bulky dressing

A

Laceration to neck

57
Q

Sprain

A

Stretch of muscle

58
Q

Strain

A

Tear of muscle

59
Q

Esophageal Perfoartion

A

Can result in mediastinitis, an inflammation of the mediastinum due to leakage of gastric contents into thoracic cavity

60
Q

Bulky dressing

A

Laceration to neck

61
Q

Sprain

A

Stretch of muscle

62
Q

Strain

A

Tear of muscle

63
Q

Esophageal Perfoartion

A

Can result in mediastinitis, an inflammation of the mediastinum due to leakage of gastric contents into thoracic cavity

64
Q

Partial pressure of brain with head injuries

A

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
Q

Diffuse shearing

A

Tearing of the brain

66
Q

Epidural Hematoma

A

Accumulation of blood between skull and dura mater

67
Q

Subdural Hematoma

A

Under occipital

68
Q

Avulsion

A

Devolving of tissue

69
Q

Flexion injuries

A

Neck moving forward in collision

70
Q

Extension

A

Whiplash injuries going backwards

71
Q

Cord Laceration

A

Bone or projectile enters spinal cord. Once transacted it is gone forever

72
Q

Anterior Cord syndrome

A

Loss of movement of extremities

73
Q

Posterior cord syndrome

A

Loss of sensation of extremities

74
Q

Cauda Equina Syndrme

A

Located at base of spine (tail bone) where the Nerves began to separate into smaller nerves

75
Q

Brown Sequard Syndrome

A

Partial direction of cord. Loss of sensation of one half and loss of movement of one side of the body

76
Q
