Minute ventilation equation
TV X RR
Goal for ET CO2
40 = adequate tube placement
Blood pressure in shock
MAP under 60
SBP under 90
Urine output in shock
less than 0.5 cc/kg/hr
MAP equation
CO x SVR
CO equation
HR x SV
Stroke volume equation
preload x contractility
What causes shock by altering SVR (4)
sepsis
anaphylaxis
anesthesia
spinal trauma
What causes shock by altering preload
hemorrhage obstruction (TPTX, pericardial tamponade, PE)
What causes shock by altering preload?
MI
contusion
CHF
Escalating steps in airway treatment
O2 –> bag valve mask –> ETT –> cric (ED) –> trach (OR)
What form of shock causes FLAT neck veins?
most = engorged, flat in hemorrhage due to loss of volume
Shock + tracheal deviation –> next step
needle decompression
this is tension pneumo
JVD + pulses paradoxus –> next step
needle decompression
this is tamponade
Structures in zone 1 of neck
esophagus trachea arteries
structures in zone 3 of neck
arteries
Interventions in trauma to each zone of the neck
3- arteriogram
2- straight to surgery
1- ateriogram, esophagram, bronchoscopy
Penetrating neck injury –> decision to operate depends on?
hard signs
hard signs –> opeate
soft signs –> angio
asx –> observe
What are “hard signs”
gurgling, stridor, loss of airway
expanding hematoma, pulsatile bleeding, shock
stroke
What are “soft signs”
dysphonia/dysphagia
subQ air or emphysema
mild hard signs
Spinal cord- main pathways in anterior/middle/posterior sections of spinal cord
posterior- DCLMS (proprioception and vibratory sense)
middle- motor
anterior- ALS (pain and temp)
Cord lesions- which symptoms are ipsilateral? contralateral?
ipsi- proprioception and motor
pain and temp- contra (cross at level of entry)
Anterior cord injury:
defecit and typical cause?
lose all but proprioception
spinal artery occlusion
central cord injury:
typical deficit and cause?
loss of pain and temp in cape like distribution
hyperextension/ syringomyelia
