Trauma FISDAP Flashcards
subcutaneous Emphysema
caused by tears in lungs or airway. Rice Krispy Skin
Disseminating intravascular Coagulation
Microthrombi, irregular clotting/excess palettes, internal/orifice bleeding, Acidotic Sepsis is most common cause. End stage reaction.
Transected aorta
Intense chest pain, Trauma can cause aortic bleeding big deceleration, blunt force trauma.
Pleural decompression
Let air escape lung cavity. S&S;low blood pressure, AMS, unilateral chest rise, JVD, difficulty breathing.
Rhabdomyalysis
abnormal muscle breakdown
Acidodic-metabolicly unstable
Tied to crush syndrom
