1
4 types of skull fx
linear, basilar, comminuted, depressed
2
head injury, BP is 70/30, tachycardia - what is happening
hypovolemic shock
3
what is state of pupils when there is diffuse cerebral edema
bilat dilation with sluggish response
4
cushings triad, what it indicates
-inc BP/dec HR/altered breathing &
-indicates inc ICP
5
two most injurious phases of whiplash
2 and 4
6
4 cerebrum lobes/functions
-occip/vision,
-temporal/hearing,
-parietal/sensory,
-frontal/planning & judgem
7
bad idea to stop BF or CSF from head trama
will back up and inc ICP
8
type of skull fx results from pariorbital ecchymosis or battle's sign
basilar frx
9
results from avulsion of a triangular shaped fx from anteroinferior portion of CVB
teardrop fx
10
bruising/swelling of cerebrum in coup-countracoup pattern
cerebral contusion
11
best indicator of a pt status post head injury
level of consciousness
12
traumatic spondylolisthesis of pars/pedicles of C2, often after hyperext wound
hangman's fx
13
pt suffers R focal lesion, contusion/hematoma after head trauma, describe pupil state
L normal, R dilated/fixed resp
14
most imp spinal injury indicator
mechanism
15
3 meningial layers
dura, arachnoid, pia
16
recent spinal trauma, pt reports numbness in groin, trouble making it to bathroom
911/cauda equina
17
how severe whiplash occurs at low speeds
up to pt of vehicle deform, all forces are transferred into pt
18
dmg to cord produces periph vasodilation, periph resist to BF dec, bp falls - cond?
neurogenic shock
19
less injuries if you are aware/unaware in MVA
unaware, no bracing
20
type of fx prod by direct vertical/axial loading of atlas
burst/jefferson frx
21
temp distrub in brain fx due to brain rattled in skull from blow
concussion
22
grading system to meas severity of brain traum and 3 main resp
glasgow scale/ verbal consc, motor consc, eye opening
23
type of dens frx descends into body of c2
type 3 [type 1 at tip, type 2 at base, less likely to heal]
24
cond assoc with skull frx in temp area, blood collects bt skull and meninges
epidural hematoma
25
name struct that connect dens to occip, can be torn when head is turned during rear end collision
alar/check ligs
26
2 reasons why scalp laceration more likely to lead to hypovolemic shock in a child vs adult
higher resting HR, lower BV, larger head to body ratio
27
if force reat enough to cause signif head trauma what should you also assume is present until proven otherwise
neck injury
28
what surrounds brain and sc in space bt arachnoid and pia
csf
29
elderly pt with severe NP and fronta/occip bruising following fall, what cond
dens fx
