TCRN Exam Study Guide with 100% Correct Answers


Kehr's sign - ✔️✔️Referred left shoulder pain, usually indicates a splenic injury


Base deficit - ✔️✔️Base deficit more than -6 indicates the need for agressive

resuscitation and determination of the etiology


CXR - ✔️✔️Most important tool providing useful information in the early minutes. Can

identify major sources of blood loss from injuries in the chest or elevated diaphragm

with displacement of abdominal organs


Tracheobronchial injury - ✔️✔️Should be suspected if after chest tube placement a

significant air leak is present


Diagnostic Peritoneal Lavage - ✔️✔️Alternative to FAST scan to detect abd bleeding. A

urinary catheter and gastric tube should be in place prior to procedure.


FAST - ✔️✔️Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma. Used to detect free fluid

in peritoneum or hemoperitoneum. Free fluid appears "black" on the screen. Has

replaced DPL when available.

Ultrasound abd exam - ✔️✔️Not useful to detect injuries to the diaphragm, intestine and

pancreas. In patients with obesity, ascites and/or subQ emphysema the accuracy is

reduced.


CT scan - ✔️✔️Hemodynamically stable patients may be taken to CT


Angiography - ✔️✔️Embolization is useful in treating patient with unstable pelvic

fractures, liver and splenic hemorrhage. Use of hybrid OR suites to allow for surgical

and interventional radiology methods of treatment simultaneously.


Diagnostic laparoscopy - ✔️✔️Can be used to detect or exclude finding so f

hemoperitoneum, organ injury, intestinal spillage or peritoneal penetration. Most useful

in evaluating possible diaphragmatic injuries, espectially in penetrating

thoracoabdominal injuries on the left site


Diaphragmatic injuries - ✔️✔️Usually resultant of penetrating throacoabdominal injuries

on the left side, including 11-12 rib fractures on the left.


Small intestine injuries - ✔️✔️Result from shearing forces in MVC or direct blows that

crush intestine between force and the vertebrae. Most commonly intra-abd injury in

penetrating trauma. Occurs often with spinal injury. Pancreatic/solid organ injury are

predictive of increased risk for hollow viscus injury. Signs of peritonitis develop. Any

blow to the abd/penetrating injury to the lower chest/abd should increase suspicion of

injury
