4. Trauma Flashcards
(188 cards)
which trauma has incr risk of vascular tearing
deceleration
3 types of trauma
penetrating
blunt
deceleration
primary goal of anesthesia during trauma
airway managment
trauma bay equipment (9)
anesthesia cart
code cart
FULL airway cart
resuscitation equipment
Vascular access
POC labd
echocardiography
warming devices
rapid transfusers
RED triage
immediate attention
cannot survive w/o immediat treatment but have chance of survival
YELLOW triage
observation
serious injuries need immediat attention
better chance of recovery
GREEN triage
non-life threatening injuries
BLACK triage
decease or mortally wounded
WHITE triage
no injury
most trauma pts die of
tissue hypoxia
all trauma pts are considered
full stomach
indications to intubate
- inadequate airway proetction
- loss of conscioussness
- high spinal injury
- aspiration
- loss of airway
- severe maxillofacial deformity
- neck hematoma
- CO poisonig
- hperventilation needed for ICP
- laryngeal/tracheal injury
- stridor
- poor ventilation
- GCS < 8
trauma induction doses
greatly reduced due to incr susceptibility for HD effects
can you oxy pt with ambu bag
yes but you must squeeze the bag for blow by
cervical spine considerations
- jaw thrust only
- in-line stabilization during intubation
- video scope 1st attempt
which pts have unstable c-spine
ALL trauma pts are assumed to have unstable c-spine unless proven by radiography
which induction agents cause hypotension or cardiac arrest in trauma pts
ALL
propofol
etomidate
ketamine
best choice induction agent trauma
ketamine
etomidate SE
inhibits catecholamines
ketamine SE
direct myocardial depression
sux CI
burns
ESRD
recent denervation
incr ICP
(hyperkalemia)
what can sux cause
incr ICP
histamie release
tension pneumothorax diagnosis
sudden CV collapse after PPV
- tachycardia
- hypotension
- incr PIP
- hypercarbia
- hypoxia
what is the indication for tension pneumo decompression?
pt becomes unstable
