Study of energy transfer as it applies to identifying actual or
potential injuries - correct answer ✅✅Kinematics
Refers to the separation of tissue resulting from a sound and/or
hydraulic wave force- the effect is a crushing pressure wave which
creates a temporary cavity, followed by a rapid and violent
closing of the cavity. - correct answer ✅✅Cavitation

✅✅Cardiac tamponade and tension pneumothorax
Results from pump failure in the presence of adequate
intravascular volume. Lack of CO and end-organ perfusion
secondary to a decrease in myocardial contractility and/or
valvular insufficiency. Therapy includes inotropic support,
