CHI

Study These Flashcards
A

23
Q

Hematoma

Study These Flashcards
A

Bruising within the brain; collection of blood

24
Hemorrhage
Actively bleeding within your meninges
25
Countrecoup concussion
Happens on opposite side of injury
26
Coup concussion
Directly under the point of contact
27
Epidural hematoma
Dura separates from skull S&S: altered LOC (lucid interval), dilated pupils, neuro deficits, nausea/ vomiting
28
Subdural hematoma
Underneath the dura mater May take 24-48 hours to present S&S: fluctuating mental status, headaches Tx: possible neurosurgery
29
Skull fracture
S&S: concussive symptoms, CSF, palpable depression, raccoon eyes, battle sign
30
Concussion
Closed head injury with loss of brain function
31
Cantu concussion grading scale
Grade 1, 2, 3 | Based off how long symptoms last loss if consciousness and for how long
32
Simple concussion
Resolved complication within 7-10 days Limited play until asymptomatic Rest- light exercise- sport specific training- non contact- contact- game MD eval mandated
33
Complex concussion
``` Symptoms persist longer than 7-10 days Loss of consciousness under a minute Convulsive motion/ posturing Prolonged cognitive impairment Suggest referral to MD/ neurologist ```
34
Glasgow coma scale for eyes
4: spontaneously 3: to speech 2: to pain 1: no response
35
Atherosclerosis
Arteries narrows causing decrease elasticity if vessels and occlusion of the lumen; limits blood flow to the coronary artery
36
Angina pectoris
Chest pain Stable: increases work load of the heart, increases stress, relieved my rest and nitro Unstable: RED FLAG
37
Myocardial infarction
Coronary artery spasm | Lupus and RA
38
Dysrhythmias
Not having steady breathing; lots of different causes
39
Rheumatic fever
This is triggered by strep throat and it occurs in 3-5% untreated strep cases
40
Myocarditis can happen from....
Playing with a cold
41
Presenting signs of heart issue
Sudden death Shortness of breath Unexplained syncope Chest pain
42
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Autosomal dominant inherited disorder; left side of heart is bigger than the right throwing off the flow of the heart
43
Right ventricular dysplasia
Fatty tissue and fibrin deposit in the right ventricle | Right ventricle enlarges, dilates and leads to arrhythmias
44
Long QT syndrome
Hank gathers Inherited disorder Sudden
45
Mitral valve prolapse
Mitral regurgitation
46
Concentric LVH
Result of longstanding uncontrolled hypertension | Symmetrical hypertrophy
47
Commotion cordis
Blunt injury to chest interrupting the electrical activity of the heart
48
Marfan Syndrome
Flo Hyman Hereditary connective tissue disease with structural anomalies of the cardiovascular, skeletal, and ocular systems Death by aortic rupture
49
Pneumothorax
Collapsed lung
50
Hemothorax
Blood collects in the pleural space
51
Tension pneumothorax
Increased pressure within the chest cavity Lung collapse Major sign: tracheal deviation
