shemorrhage. sThe sdoppler sis spositive sfor svasospasm. sThe strauma snurse swould sexpect
swhich sof sthe sfollowing smedications sto sbe sprescribed? s- sans✔✔A svasospasm sis sa
sknown scomplication sof ssubarachnoid shemorrhages. sCalcium schannel sblockers sare
sused sto sprevent sor sreverse svasospasms sand sare sfrequently sused sin sthe streatment sof
sa ssubarachnoid shemorrhage. sMetoprolol, sHydralazine sand sLisinopril sare snot scalcium
schannel sblockers sand swould snot sbe seffective sto sprevent sand streat svasospasms
scaused sby sa ssubarachnoid shemorrhage
Which schamber sof sthe sheart sis smost slikely sto sbe saffected sin sblunt scardiac sinjuries? s-
sans✔✔Given sthe sanatomical sposition sof sthe sheart sin sthe schest, sthe sright sventricle sis
smost sexposed sto sthe santerior sportion sof sthe schest swall sand sis smost slikely sto sbe
sinjured sin sa sblunt scardiac sinjury. sPatients swith sblunt scardiac sinjuries sfrequently
sexperience ssigns sof sright sventricular sfailure. sAdditional sfindings sthat sare sassociated
swith sblunt scardiac sinjuries sinclude shypotension, satrial sfibrillation, sunexplained ssinus
stachycardia, smultiple sPVCs, sST ssegment schanges sand sright sbundle sbranch sblocks.
sThe sleft satrium, sright satrium sand sleft sventricle sare sless slikely sto sbe sinjured sin sa sblunt
scardiac sinjury.
A swidened smediastinum sis snoted son sthe schest sx-ray sof sa straumatically sinjured

spelvic speritoneum, sit swould sthen sbe sclassified sas san sintraperitoneal sbladder srupture.
sManagement sof san sextraperitoneal sbladder srupture sinvolves surinary scatheterization
s(urethral sor ssuprapubic) sto sfacilitate surinary sdrainage sfrom sthe sbladder. sIntraperitoneal
sbladder sruptures srequire ssurgical sintervention sfor sdefinitive sclosure. sAn sisolated
sextraperitoneal sbladder srupture sdoes snot srequire semergent ssurgical srepair sor
sinterventional sradiology.

s(the shead ssnapping sbackwards scommonly sseen sin s"whiplash" sinjuries) scauses
scompression sand sdamage sto sthe sposterior sportion sof sthe sspinal scord. sIn santerior scord
ssyndrome, sthe smechanism sof sinjury sis sthe sopposite sof sposterior scord ssyndrome s(a
shyperflexion sinjury swhere sthe sneck shyperextends sforward s- schin sto schest) scausing
sinjury sto sthe santerior sportion sof sthe sspinal scord. sA scauda sequina ssyndrome scauses
sinjury sto sthe ssacral snerve sroots swithin sthe sspinal scanal sand sis scaused sby sfalling

svital sstructures sunderneath sit. sAny stime sthere sis spenetration sthrough sthe splatysma,
sthere sis san sincreased srisk sof sdamage sto sthe sunderlying sstructures sin sthe sneck. sThe
sneck sis sdivided sinto sthree szones. sZone sI sextends sfrom sthe ssternal snotch sand sclavicle

supward sto sthe sangle sof sthe smandible. sZone sIII sextends sfrom sthe sangle sof sthe
smandible sto sthe sbase sof sthe sskull. sStructures sfound sin sZone sI sinclude sthe ssubclavian
sartery, svertebral sartery, slung sapices, strachea, sthyroid sand sesophagus. sZone sII
sincludes sthe sinternal sjugular svein, sesophagus, slarynx, svagus snerve, scarotid sartery sand
svertebral sartery. sZone sIII sincludes sthe ssalivary sand sparotid sglands, scranial snerves sIX-

sthe sthird sspacing sof sfluids swhich sresults sin shypovolemic sshock. sCervical sspinal sinjuries
scontribute sto sneurogenic srather sthan shypovolemic sshock. sAlthough san sepidural
shematoma scauses sblood sloss, sthe sepidural sspace sis srelatively ssmall, sso sblood
saccumulation swould snot sbe senough sto sresult sin shypovolemic sshock. sA stension
