(225 cards)
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
