neural 2; ICP and hematomas Flashcards
hypertension =
HTN
subdural hematoma
bleeding between dura and arachnoid
more swelling/pressure more potential for procedure to cause dmg
rupture if greater than 10mm, smoking, or HTN
worst HA
loss of consc
projectile vomiting
complications include rebleed and vasospasms
craniotomy tx
aneurysmal subarchnoid hemorrhage after rupture
brain herniation sx
decreaseing lvls of consciousness
projectile vomiting
increasing bp
papilledema
hematoma
swelling of clotted blood within tissues
aneurysmal subarchnoid hemorrhage after traits
rupture if greater than 10mm, smoking, or HTN
worst HA
loss of consc
projectile vomiting
complications include rebleed and vasospams
craniotomy tx
meaning rupture
hernia
hernia
rupture
optic nerve in eye swells
papilledema
irreversible loss of brain fx
brain death
epidural hematoma
bleeding outside brain tissue
fluid moving from high to lower pressure from brain to brain stem (compensation)
tissue damage to brain stem
potentially fatal
Monro-Kellie hypothesis
absence of voluntary fx
reflexes intact
persistent vegetative state
aneurysm
bulging at weakness in vessel wall
ICP
intercranial pressure
headache =
HA
decreasing lvls of consciousness
profectile vomiting
increasing bp
papilledema
brain herniation dx
papilledema
optic nerve in eye swells
escaped blood from ruptured blood vessel
hemorrhage
bleeding between dura and arachnoid
subdural hematomas
dura
lining that covers brain tissue
brain herniation
tissue moves to less dense/ lower pressure
swelling of clotted blood within tissues
hematoma
destroys cells
obstruct blood
herniates brain tissue
increased ICP
