Which of the following laboratory values is expected with a musculoskeletal complication associated with this presentation? ...

The major cause of preventable death after injury - correct answerUncontrolled hemorrhage The best measure of the adequacy of cellular perfusion and helps to predict the outcome of resuscitation - correct answerBase deficit Examples of primary blast injuries - correct answerBlast lung, ruptured tympanic membrane, TBI, abdominal hemorrhage Examples of secondary blast injuries - correct answerWounds from debris and bomb fragments Examples of tertiary blast injuries - correct answerBlunt or pen...

Why is a measure of serum lactate obtained in the initial assessment of the trauma patient? Answer: c - correct answer a) to measure oxygenation and ventilation b) to quantify the base deficit for the adequacy of cellular perfusion c) *to gauge end-organ perfusion and tissue hypoxia ** d) to determine the underlying cause of shock A trauma patient is restless and repeatedly asking "where am I?" vital signs upon arrival were BP 100/60 mm Hg, HR 96 beats/min, and RR 24 breaths/min. Her ...

What are the greatest risks for transport? - correct answerLoss of airway patency, displaced obstructive tubes lines or catheters, dislodge splinting devices, need to replace or reinforce dressings, deterioration in patient status change in vital signs or level of consciousness, injury to the patient and/or team members According to newtons law which of these two force is greater: size or force? - correct answerNeither. For each force there is an equal and opposite reaction. What is the relation...

What is the best measure of the adequacy of cellular perfusion and helps predict the outcome of resuscitation? - CORRECT ANSWERBase deficit used in conjunction with serum lactate Will hypocapnia cause vasoconstriction or vasodilation, especially in the cerebral vasculature? - CORRECT ANSWERVasoconstriction What results from tissue hypo perfusion and oxygen deficit? - CORRECT ANSWERMetabolic acidosis What type of shock results in generalized vasodilation? - CORRECT ANSWERNeurogenic shock Spin...
