Method for treatment frostbite?
A. Vasodilators
B. Anticigulants
C. Warm (40 degrees) water
D. Padding and elevation
E. Application of heat from a hairdryer
2. Which of the following physical findings D. Presence of deep tendon
suggest a cause of hypotension other than reflexes. Spinal shock refers to
spinal cord injury? loss of muscle toe (flaccidty) and
A. Priapism loss of reflexes.
B. Bradycardia
C. Diaphragmatic breathing
D. Presence of deep tendon reflexes
, E. Ability to flex forearms but not extend
them
3. The primary indication for transferring A C. Resource limitations as
patient to a higher level trauma center is: determined by the transferring
A. Unavailability of surgeon or operating doctor
staff
B. Multiple system injuries, including severe
head injury
C. Resource limitations as determined by the
transferring doctor
D. Resource limitations as determined by the
hospital administration
E. Widened mediastinum on chest x-ray
following blunt trauma
4. A young man sustains a rifle wound to the A. Laparotomy because of
mid-abdomen. He is brought promptly to the hemodynamic abnormality
ED by prehospital personnel. His skin is cool
and diaphoretic, and his systolic blood
pressure is 58mmHg. Warmed crystalloid
fluids are initiated without improvement in
his vital signs. The next, most appropriate,
step is to perform:
A. a laparotomy
, B. An abdominal CT-scan
C. Diagnostic laparoscopy
D. Abdominal ultrasonography
E. A diagnostic peritoneal lavage
5. A 42-year-old man is trapped from the waist E. Bilateral compartment
down beneath his overturned tractor for syndrome
several hours before medical assistance
arrives. He is awake and alert until just
before arriving in the ED. He is now
unconscious and responds only to painful
stimuli by moaning. His pupils are 3mm in
diameter and symmetrically reactive to light.
Prehospital personnel indicate that they have
not seen the patient move either of his lower
extremities. On examination in the ED, no
movement of his lower extremities are
detected, even in response to painful stimuli.
The most likely cause for this finding is:
A. An epidural hematoma
B. A pelvic fracture
C. Central cord syndrome
D. Intracerebral hemorrhage
E. Bilateral compartment syndrome
, 6. A 6-year-o boy is struck by an automobile D. Percutaneous peripheral veins
and brought to the ED. He is lethargic, but in the upper extremities
withdraws purposefully from painful stimuli.
His blood pressure is 90mmHg systolic, heart
rate 140 beats per minute and his respiratory
rate is 36 breaths per minute. The preferred
route of venous access in this patient is:
A. Percutaneous femoral vein cannulation
B. Cutdown on the saphenous vein at the
ankle
C. Intraosseous catheter placement in the
proximal tibia
D. Percutaneous peripheral veins in the upper
extremities
E. Central venous access via the subclavian
or internal jugular vein
7. A young man sustains a gunshot wound to C. Control internal hemorrhage
the abdomen and is brought promptly to the operatively
ED by prehospital personnel. His skin is cool
and diaphoretic, and he is confused. His pulse
is thready and his femoral pulse is only
weakly palpable. The definitive treatment in
managing this patient is to:
