Unit 14 Chapters 47-50 Flashcards
if a patient has an injury and has a BP of 60 what kind of shock is this
hypovolemic
someone could have a severe injury but the BP would be within normal limits, could they still be in shock?
yes, sympathetic nervous is working good
since we know someone could have normal BP and still be in shock, what should we do?
look at the mechanism of the injury
what does a pelvic fracture look like and how many units of blood is loss
the fracture would not break skin so it would be a closed fracture and 4-6 units of blood would be loss
if we have someone who has hypovolemia and we are unable to restore volume and they are not purfusing, why would they develop metabolic acidosis
because oxygen is not being delivered to the tissues so they switch from aerobic to anaerobic and is releasing lactic acid
if we have a 20 year old come in with SEVERE leg trauma what shock could he develop at this point in time
hypovolemic
if we have that same 20 year old come in with SEVERE leg trauma and we give him an antibiotic, what shock could develop after this
anaphlacytic
if we have that same 20 year old come in with SEVERE leg trauma and its 2 weeks after injury what shock could he develop
sepsis
if we have that same 20 year old come in with SEVERE leg trauma what would be his first acid base disorder that would develop
respiratory alkalosis
if we have that same 20 year old come in with SEVERE leg trauma WHY would he develop respiratory alkalosis as his first acid base disorder
chemoreceptors sense low O2 levels
baroreceptors sense low pressure
= accelerated breathing
do closed fractures still result in blood loss
yes
why do you get bleeding when you break a bone
bone contain hematopoietic connective tissue to form blood cells
bones are a storage reservoir for
calcium
where are osteoblasts found
periosteum, endosteum, epiphyseal plate
osteoblasts are responsible for
formation of bone matrix
2 stages of osteoblasts
ossification and calcification
osteoblasts secrete what that is a useful blood test
alkaline phosphatase
osteocytes are responsible for what
maintaining the bony matrix
osteocytes play an active role in releasing
calcium
osteoclasts are responsible for
reabsorption of bone matrix and release of calcium and phosphate from bone
what bone cells are the mature ones
osteocytes
what bone cells are the building cells
oteoblasts
if someone has high amounts of osteoclasts what minerals may they have elevated in their blood
calcium and phosphate
cells in the growth plate stop dividing at ____________ at which time the epiphysis and metaphysis fuse
puberty
if there is a fracture at the growth plate in a prepubescent child what would happen
growth is put in jeprody
red bone marrow contains
developing RBC
yellow bone marrow is composed of
adipose tissues
in children where is redbone marrow found
most bones
in adults where is red bone marrow found
vertebrae, ribs, sterum, and ilia
if you have an older patient who needs a bone biopsy where might it get taken from
ilia and sternum
since each joint of an extremity is innervated by all the peripheral nerves that cross the articulation- they may experience
referred pain from one joint to another
since we know people could exerpeince referred pain with joints what should we do during examination
exam joint above and below complained site
a young child comes in and is complaining of knee pain, where should you examine
knee, ankle and hip/thigh region
cause of musculoskeletal injuries
blunt tissue trauma, disruption of tendons and ligaments, fractures of bony structures
acute injuries in athletic individuals is caused by
sudden trauma
acute injuries in athletic individuals is not always bone injuries, what else could it be
injury to soft tissues
overuse injuries in athletic individuals is acute/chronic?
chronic
what is an example of overuse injuries in athletic individuals
stress fracture
contusion
skin intact, ecchymotic; an injury to soft tissue that results from direct trauma and is usually caused by striking a body part against a hard object
hematoma
large area of local hemorrhage
a large contusion is
hematoma
a small hematoma is
contusion
laceration
skin torn, continuity disrupted
can a laceration be on purpose
yes, ex: surgery
strain
STRETCHING injury to muscle or musculotendious unit from mechanical overloading
sprain
abnormal or excessive movement of joint with disruption to ligaments
sprain will form new collagen within
4-5 days
with a sprain the original strength within __ weeks
7
repair in soft tissues is accomplished by
fibroblasts
in soft tissues healing _____________ infiltrate the injured area during the initial healing process
capillaries
in soft tissues healing the formation of long __________ bundles occurs
collagen
dislocations
loss of articulation of the bone ends in the joint capsule caused by displacement or separation
movement of shoulder relies heavily on support of four relatively small muscles called
rotator cuff
anytime a muscle injury occurs always asses neurovasuclar status of area because it can be disrupted
EX: dislocated patella could
rupture nearby arteries
rotator cuff injuries occurs due to
repetitive movements
rotator cuff injuries are common in
pitchers, swimmers, weight lifters
if you have a partial rotator cuff injury will that require surgery
no
if you have a full thickness rotator cuff injury will that require surgery
yes
WHO ARE MORE AT RISK FOR ROTATOR CUFF INJURIES
ATHELETES
classification of fractures is by
cause
location
types
pattern of fracture line
cause of fracture classification
sudden injury
stress fractures
pathologic fractures
what is a pathologic fracture
fracture because of a disease
example of diseases that could cause pathologic fractures
cancer, osteogenic imperfecta, osteoporosis
location of fracture classification
proximal
midshaft
distal
types of fracture classification
open or closed
why would a person with an open fracture get seen faster than a person with a closed fracture
because skin integrity is ruined and they are more at risk for infection/sepsis
you do not always know you have a fracture until
X-ray
signs and symptoms of a fracture
pain, tenderness, swelling, loss of function, deformity, abnormal mobility
after you place a splint what and where should you always check
distal pulse
5 stages of bone healing
- hematoma formation
- cellular proliferation
- callus formation
- ossification
- remodeling
during hematoma and cellular proliferation
hematoma facilitates the formation of the _______ ___________ that seals off fracture site and serves as framework for the influx of ___________ cells, ____________ and new _________ ____
fibrin meshwork, inflammatory, fibroblasts capillary buds
fibrocartilagnous callus formation
formation of granulation tissue called ___________. _________ proliferate and invade pro callus. Fibroblasts produce a ______________ _____ ________ bridge that connects bone fragments
procallus, fibroblasts, fibrocartilaginous soft callus
can you weight bare during the fibrocartilaginous callus formation stage
NO WEIGHT BERING YET
during bony callus formation
fibrocartilaginous cartilage is converted to _______ _________, _____________ first deposit bone on outer surface of bone and move inward. begins at ______ weeks after injury
bony callus, osteoblasts, 3-4
can you weight bare during bony callus formation
yes, this is usually when the cast is removed
remodeling phase
dead portions of bone are removed by _____________ and _______ bone replaces ________ bone.
osteoclasts, compact, spongy
is there evidence that you have had a fracture before
yes, a thickened area remains
in the remodeling phase are osteoclasts good
yes
vasucular anatomy of ________ head is critical
femoral
if you have a hip injury the viability of femoral head may lead to
avascular necrosis
what is avascular necrosis
no blood vessel to rest of leg
what is the most common cause of hip injuries
falls
a 200 pound man is travling in a car at 50 miles per hour when he loses control of the vehicle and strokes a telephone pole in a head on collision. Approximately how many pounds of forces was the man subjected to within milliseconds
10,000lbs
if you have an open book pelvis fracture in a man, what are they at risk for
rupture of urethra
4 complications of fractures
development of fat emboli
compartment syndrome
hypovolemic shock
infection
compartment syndrome is tissue compromise from
pressure in the muscle compartment
what is the hallmark symptom of compartment syndrome
PAIN OUT OF PROPORTION TO THE ORIGINAL INJURY
UNRELENTING PAIN
compartment syndrome can be dangerous because the expanding muscle could compress
nerves and arterties
5 P’s of compartment syndrome
paresthesia, pallor, proprioception, pain, pulse
why might an individual with compartment syndrome have paresthesia
nerve is compressed
