Neck Pen Trauma Zones
Go “Up”
- Sternal Notch to Cricoid
- Cricoid to angle of mandible
- Angle of mandible to base of skull
Hard Signs of Neck Injury
- Hypotension
- Arterial Injury
- Rapidly expanding hematoma
- Deficit (pulse or neuro)
- Bruits or thrills
- Bubbling wound
- Severe hemoptysis
- Severe hematemesis
Soft Signs of Neck Injury
- Hoarseness
- Stridor
- SubQ Emphysema
–> CTA +/- Scope
Neck Pen Trauma Decision Matrix
- Airway Compromise (Expanding Hematoma, Stridor) –> Intubate
- Hards Signs or Unstable –> OR
- Stable and violates platysma –> CTA
- Possible GIT injury –> Endoscopy or Esophargram +/- ABx
- Possible Larygotracheal Injury –> Bronchoscopy
Pen Neck Trauma - Vascular Injuries
MC injured - vein and art
Other concerns (2)
1 Vein = EJ
Vert Art - May be occult –> Neuro Deficits (CN)
IJ - C/f Venous Air Embolism
Shoulder Dystocia
H - call Help (OB, peds, anesthesia)
E - Episiotomy (large)
L - Legs Flexed McRobert’s position
P - suprapubic Pressure
E - Enter the vagina, perform wood’s screw pushing shoulders to the fetal chest
R - Remove posterior arm, pull across face and pull out of birth canal
If still no dice - break clavicle
Breech Delivery
- PUSH IT BACK IN (zavanelli procedure)
- Must have OB en route to do Csx)
- If not help coming
- Cut large episiotomy,
- Sweep out legs and let deliver past umbilicus without any traction,
- Pull 10cm of cord out once umbilicus clears perineum.
- Deliver most accessible arm then the other, may need to rotate.
- Rotate fetus to keep face down (so chin not caught on symphysis).
- Use Mariceau maneuver (Fingers in fetal mouth sometimes via mom’s anus) to flex chin (or place pressure on maxilla) / avoid extension injury to spinal cord.
Multi-Gestation
If baby #1 is breech → C-sx
If both vertex → deliver both
If baby #1 is vertex, #2 breech → deliver #1 and try to rotate #2
Nuchal Cord
reduce when head delivers
check for a second one
