Q

Signs of basilar skull fracture

A

Csf
Battle signs
Raccoon eyes

17
Q

Icp levels

A

5-15mmgh normal
Over 15mmgh is dangerous
Over 25 mmgh leads to herniation

18
Q

CCP

A

Cerebral perfusion, pressure pressure required to the fuse the brain it must be greater than the ICP to perfusion to occur

CCP equals mass minus ICP
Where is CCP must be greater than 60 to perfuse the brain

19
Q

Minimum systolic bp and map need in cpp pts

A

Minimum systolic blood pressure 110
Minimum map of 85

20
Q

Decrease is map plus increased Icp =

21
Q

Cushing response

A

Decrease heart rate
Increase BP
Decrease RR

22
Q

Why does the heart rate drop as the blood pressure and map increases?

A

A reduction to the heart rate is due to the stimulation of barrel, receptors in the vagal nerve

23
Q

Icp signs

A

Cushing triad
Pupil changes
Posturing
GCS less than nine or drop by 2 or come 3
Decoriate and decerebrate

24
Q

Primary brain injury

A

Injury to the brain, and it’s associated structures that results instantaneously from the impact

25
Secondary brain injury
A consequence of the primary injury that includes abnormal processes such as removal, edema, intercranial hemorrhage, an ICP,
26
Contusion
No structural injury to the brain Unconsciousness followed by a level of consciousness, may repeat questions, dizzy, headache, ringing, ears, nausea, vomiting, short term, amnesia
27
Diffusion axonal injury
Your brain gets rocked Similar to a concussion, but your brain gets structural injuries Usually from acceleration deceleration force
28
Cerebral contusion
Bruising or swelling of the brain Can cause. personality change
29
Epidural hematoma
Arterial, bleed Acceleration, deceleration, trauma Within minutes to hours Temporal lobe fracture
30
Subdural hematoma
Venous bleed
31
Subarachnoid hemorrhage
Bleeding into where the CSF
33
Intracerbral hematoma
Penetration injury rapid deceleration can occur with a DAI high morbility rate
34
Treat for TBI
Elevate head 30° 2 large IV SPO2 below 94% Map of 85 target Systolic of 110 ETco2 to 30-35 hyperventilation
35
BGL lower than 4
Give half a dose of dw50 12.5 g.
