Q

what is breain contisuion

A

structural damage to the brain

24
Q

what are the time effects for contusion

A

short long and permanetn

25
what happens to the brain in a contusio
bleeding swelling increase pressure on brain
26
where do cerebral contusions mostly happen
in frontal and temporal lobes
27
what is the function of frontal lobe
movement impulse | personality and langauge
28
what is the function of temporal lbe
written hearing memory
29
what is petechial hemmorage?
bleeding in eye
30
what is antoher name for intracranial bleeding
hematoma
31
what does increanial bleeidn cause
INCEASED pressure on brain in confined space
32
what are the 3 hematoma types
epidural hematoma subdural intracerebral
33
if someone has intracranial bleeding, are they also unconcious
no
34
is an epidural hematoma lifethreatihinh
yes
35
what is rare without a skull fracture
epidural hematoma
36
what is the location of epidural hematomy
between dura matter and periosteam
37
what is the fastest devolloping hematoma
epidural
38
what is the MOI for epidural hematoma
laceration to middle meningeal arearty | HIGH VELOCITY BLOW TO TEMPLE
39
true or false: do not worry for epidural hematoma after cooncnussion
false
40
explain talk and die for epidural hematoma
you have a lucid period but there is a rapid decline in LOC as bleeding causes increase pressure in brain
41
what is the most common hematoma
subdural
42
does subdural require surgery
yes
43
where is the location of a subdural hematoma
outside the brain iselt between dura and arachnoid
44
is subdural slow devolopping or fast
slow (24 hours)
45
what type of intracerebal hematoma is fast devolliping
arterial bleed
46
what type of intracerebraal hamtoa is slow developping
venous
47
where is the location of the intracerabal hematoma
within the brain tissue itself
48
what is the defision of intracranial pressure
pressure exercited by brain tissue, blood and CSF
49
what is normal ICP
0-15 mm HG
50
what are the symtpoms of intracranial pressure
``` decreased LOC increase pressure of skull increased BP decreased HR motor dynduntion 9Impaired reguered) ```
51
true or false: intracral pressure has same symptoms as shock
false, oppisite
52
what is c=hyne strokes breaking and what is it associated with
intracranial pressire | slow shallow to deep and rapid and then back to slow
53
true or false: posture doesnt tell you another about ICP
false, there will be abnromal flexion and extension of arms as a sign
54
how can you decrease the pressure on the brain
create a burr hole
55
be able to locate the 3 diff types of hematomas
.
56
do pupils have another to do with ICP
yes pupil reaction will not be norml blurred vission
57
what is the schema for increased in ICP
increase ICP decrease in cerebral perfusion pressure ishemia and hypoxia
