ATCN Questions with 100% Correct
Answers | Verified
tension pneumothorax signs
•respirstory distress •tachycardia, hypotension •absent breath sounds on the affected
side •neck vein distention •tracheal deviation, away from injured side
The predominant cause of preventable death
Hemorrhage
What does decreased level of consciousness indicate?
Poor brain perfusion due to blood loss with subsequent hypoxia
cardiac tamponade (Beck's Triad)
•Venous pressure elevation (distended neck veins) •decline in arterial pressure
(hypotension) •muffled heart tones
Balanced fluid resuscitation/Permissive hypotension
Maintains end organ perfusion. Strategy used until definitive control of hemorrhage
occurs. Raising blood pressure too quickly with aggressive fluid resuscitation without
control of hemorrhage can increase bleeding fluid
When can tranexamic acid (clot promoter) be considered?
May be considered in severely injured patient that presents within 3 hours of injury
GCS
Why do you insert tubes (pharyngeal, endotracheal, or gastric) through mouth when
facial fractures are present
This is because a cribriform plate fracture may be suspected. Insertion of tubes through
mouth prevents inadvertent insertion of the tube through the cribriform plate
Why insert gastric tubes in traumas?
Decompress abdomen and reduce resistance to diaphragmatic excursion and decrease
risk of aspiration. Also to assess for blood with potential upper gastro-intestinal injury
secondary survey AMPLE
i. Allergies
ii. Meds currently taking
iii. PMHx/pregnancy
