rectum, prostate, bladder, vag, and urethra injuries

40
Q

treating aspiration (prevent and treat)

A

npo when intubating to prevent

therapy is lavage and removal of acid with bronchosopy then bronchodilators and resp support

41
Q

treatment of non expanding pelvic hematoma

leave alone

42

fat embolism to brain

43
Q

correcting hypernatremia

A

used D5 1/2NS

44
Q

fixing children fracture with lots of angulation

A

may be okay when reduced and immobilized

would not work in adult

morton neuroma

46
Q

salmon colored fluid wound

A

wound dehiscence

47
Q

what is the first thing that has to be suspected when a post op pt gets confused and disoriented

A

hypoxia

check ABG and provide resp support

48
Q

assessing renal injuries

A

CT scan

49
Q

linear skull fracture treatment

A

leave alone if closed

50
Q

treatment for gas gangrene

A

penicillin and clindamycin

extensive emergency surgical debridement and hyperbaric oxygen

51
Q

location of small bowel vs large on imaging

A

colon hugs boundaries

small bowel in center

52
Q

dehydration vs RF post op with sodium and fractional excretion

A

if dehydrated then should be less that 10-20 meq/L
-FE sodium less than 1

if RF then will exceed 40 mEq/L
-FE sodium greater than 1

53

abscess in the pulp of a fingertip caused by a neglected penetrating injury is what?

treatment?

felon

surgical drainage

54

hemisection (brown-sequard)

57
