CAISS - Head
A head harm defined as "Extra Axial" have to be codes as what type of bleed? -
ANS-Hematoma NFS
Absent mind stem Cisterns is a sign of what? - ANS-Severe Brain Swelling
At O2 stage is hypoxemia considered? - ANS-92% or less
At what age are mind severity injuries adjusted? - ANS-10 & more youthful
Can you code DAI based on imaging DX of DAI? - ANS-To be capable of code DAI it must
additionally meet the definition in the AIS dictionary
Coding of mind accidents should be achieved when? - ANS-At 24 hours or at initial showed
diagnosis if later than 24 hours.
Compressed ventricles are a signal of what? - ANS-Mild Brain Swelling
Compression because of transetentorial herniation causing a blown scholar is damage to what
nerve? - ANS-Oculomotor Nerve / CN III
Compression at the tentorium causing double imaginative and prescient is an injury to which
nerve? - ANS-Trochlear Nerve / CN IV
Define Brain Edema - ANS-Specific sort of mind swelling. It suggests elevated mind water
content. Should most effective be coded if the issuer describes it as such or CT mentions
hypodensity.
Define Brain Swelling. - ANS-Generic description of a swollen mind.
Define Vasospasm - ANS-it is an harm to the artery. It is not an harm itself; consequently now
not codeable
Define Vessel Thrombosis. - ANS-It is a vessel damage that outcomes in occlusion. (Tear,
dissection)
Diagnosis of DAI requires a coma over how many hours? - ANS-6
Diagnosis of shearing of white matter with instantaneous extended coma; - ANS-Diffuse Axonal
Injury (DAI)
Difficulty swallowing could be a signal of harm to what cranial nerve? - ANS-Glossopharyngeal
Nerve / CN IX
Diffuse Brain Injury - ANS-Concussion and DAI make up this form of harm. It is giant and does
no longer effect only one place of the mind. This type of injury had an effect on degree of focus
External rotation of the hands is a brain stem signal of what? - ANS-Decerebrate
Facial spasms, shooting or jabbing pain is a probable indication of which cranial nerve? -
ANS-Trigeminal Nerve / CN V
Focal Brain Injury - ANS-Defines a contusion, hematoma, intraventricular hemorrhage,
subarchonoid hemorrhage. Bleeding or contusions cited in a specific place of the brain.
For a scalp laceration to be considered "Major" what need to be genuine? - ANS->10cm and
into the subcutaneous
Given proof of head damage; what can be used to corroborate a diagnosis of basilar cranium
fracture? - ANS-Battle Signs, CSF (Otorrhea/Rhinorrhea) or Raccoon Eyes
