Trauma Flashcards
Zone III retroperitoneal hematoma most common source of bleed
Presacral and prevesical veins
Pathophys open ptx and tx
Ventilation-perfusion defect, partially occluded dressing
Blunt thoracic aorta rupture; most common location and diagnostic imaging
Level of the ligament arteriosum, CT angio
Odontoid fx types and tx
Type I oblique through upper part of dens, nonop
Type II extend into base of dens, rigid collar or halo vs surgery
Type III extend into C2 body, rarely surgical
Peripheral lung lesions in trauma, tx
Wedge resection
Clinically insignificant pancreatic drainage with amylase >3x upper limit of serum normal
Biochemical leak, not a fistula
Repair of cardiac ventricle injury
Nonabsorbable pledgetted suture
Unstable with penetrating retroperitoneal injury; tx
Ex lap
Pancreatic Injury Grade
Grade I - Minor contusion or superficial laceration
Grade II - Major contusion ro major laceration
Grade III - Distal transection or duct injury
Grade IV - Proximal transection or ampulla involvement
Grade V - Massive head disruption
Appropriate indications for non-op management of liver lacerations
Grade I-III, HDS, without active extrav, lack of continued transfusion requirements or other indications for laparotomy
Facial trauma requiring intubation; next step
ET via DL
Timing of reconstruction of ureteral injuries
ASAP, unless hemodynamically unstable
Penetrating injury with large left retroperitoneal hematoma; surgical tx
Mattox maneuver
Most effective analgesic therapy for flail chest
neuraxial blockade
Traumatic transection of ureter or UPJ; tx
Debridement and primary anastomosis
Initial resuscitation in pediatric trauma
20mL/kg crystalloid x2 then 10mL/kg PRBC
Urethral injury imaging modality
CT after Pelvic X-ray in trauma bay
