Q

The Monro-Kellie hypothesis:

A

blood, CSF, and brain tissue are in a state of volume equilibrium such that any increase in volume of one of the cranial constituents must be compensated by a decrease in volume of another to prevent a rise in ICP

17
Q

A concern with intubating a patient with maxillofacial injuries is

A

putting a breathing tube into the brain

-can also cause sinusitis & meningitis

18
Q

For a patient after pituitary tumor removal who develops diabetes insipidus, treat with

A

vasopressin or desmopressin

19
Q

This treatment can be used for vasospasm and ruptured cerebral aneurysm

A

triple H:
hypertension (SBP 160-200 mmHg)
hemodilution with Hct 33%
hypervolemia with CVP >10 mmHg

20
Q

Considerations for neuro surgery include:

A

do not give benzos preoperatively
want them to be able to wake up early to participate in neuro exam
keep ETCO2 at 30

21
Q
Describe the following as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th degree burns:
very painful
extends to bones & ligaments
destruction of epidermis
may result in contractures
A

painful-2nd
bones & ligaments-4th
destruction of epidermis- 1st
contractures-3rd

22
Q

Describe the rule of 9’s to estimate percent burn of patient.

A
head- 9%
arms- 9% each
legs-18% each
torso- 18% each 
groin- 1%
23
Q

Treatment for CO poisoning includes

A

100% fiO2 & hyperbaric chamber

24
Q

CO has _________ affinity for hemoglobin as ______ and shifts the oxygen dissociation curve ______

A

200 x
O2
LEFT

25
S/s of inhalational injury include
facial burns singed facial hair hoarseness difficulty swallowing
26
After 24-48 hours, patients with burn injuries experience a
hyperdynamic state where CO is 2x higher
27
Fluid resuscitation goals for patients with burns include
``` UO: 0.5-1.0 mL/kg/hr HR: 80-140 MAP: adults >60 mmHg base deficit <2 Normal Hct ```
28
For each % area that is excised, blood loss is
200-400 mL
29
Patients who have undergone burns should not receive
succinylcholine 24 hours to 1 year post-burn to avoid massive release of K+, ventricular dysrythmias, and cardiac arrest
30
Patients with flail chest benefit from
epidural or paravertebral blocks
31
The primary survey for trauma victims includes
rapid evaluation for functions crucial to survival and includes ABCDE (airway patency, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure)
32
Emergency intubation for patients with potential C-spine injury includes
100% O2 administered | simple chin lift with manual in-line stabilization
33
If a pregnant trauma patient comes in,
primary focus is mom OB consult for management lay them left lateral decubitus in the 2nd or third trimester if Rh negative will need to give Rhogam if fetus is positive
34
Cardiac tamponade s/s is
Beck's triad: narrow pulse pressure, JVD, muffled heart sounds, & hypotension
35
Indications for ETT intubation for trauma patient include
GCS <8 | facilitate workup in uncooperative patient
36
For a trauma patient with a head injury & lower BP, you can give
etomidate
37
Needle decompression for tension pneumothorax is at:
2nd intercostal space midclavicular line | 5th intercostal space midaxillary line
38
Hallmark symptoms of tension pneumothorax include
hypotension, hypoxemia, tachycardia, increased CVP, diminished BS on the affected side JVD & tracheal deviation
39
Goals for early fluid resuscitation for trauma patient do not include
SBP >100 mmHg
40
The lethal triad post blood administration is
acidosis, hypothermia, coagulopathy
41
Hypothermia causes worsening of
acid base disorders coagulopathy shifts oxygen hemoglobin curve to the left decreases metabolism of drugs, impairs platelet, and clotting enzyme function
42
The modified Brooke formula is
2 mLs x TB surface area burned x weight | then give over 24 hours: 1/2 in first 8, 1/4th in next 8, 1/4th in last 8
