, A physical finding of air within the subcutaneous tissue,
Subcutaneous emphysema
described as a crackling or popping feeling under the skin
A pathological process characterized by the widespread
activation of the clotting cascade that results in the formation of
Disseminating Intravascular
blood clots in the small vessels throughout the body. Interferes
Coagulation
with the body's ability to use fibrin for clotting when its actually
needed thus increasing the chances of severe hemorrhage
Disseminating intravascular Sepsis, tumors, and trauma
coagulation is most commonly
caused by?
Also referred to as a traumatic Transected aorta
dissection or rupture of the
aorta
Shear forces cause the layers of the aorta to separate allowing
Transected aorta blood to enter, this increases the pressure within the artery
causing it to begin to dissect
Severe hypotension
Signs and symptoms of a Severe tearing chest pain that may radiate to the back
transected aorta Difference in pulses in the left/ right upper extremities or weak
pulses in the lower extremities
Rhabdomyolysis Acute destruction of skeletal muscle
,Occurs when crush syndrome Rhabdomyolysis
causes skeletal muscle to
undergo necrosis and cellular
changes causing it to begin
degeneration
Kehr's sign Referred pain to the left shoulder caused by a ruptured spleen
The heart and vessels are working but oxygenated blood is not
Obstructive shock
being delivered adequately due to an obstruction
Common causes of obstructive Cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax, pulmonary
shock embolism
Lack of vascular tone or major vasodilation hinders the ability of
Distributive shock
blood to perfuse through the body (the pipes are too big)
Common causes of distributive Sepsis, anaphylaxis, neurological/ spinal trauma, toxic exposure
shock
Any significant reduction in the volume of the cardiovascular
Hypovolemic shock
system
Hemorrhage, severe burns, fluid/ electrolyte loss (vomiting,
Common causes of
diarrhea, sweating, excessive urination), and "third spacing" of
hypovolemic shock
fluid that can occur in severe pancreatitis or ascites of the liver
Due to the loss of sympathetic tone from a spinal cord injury,
Neurogenic shock the "message" to constrict is no longer being sent to the
smooth muscle in the vascular system
, Bradycardia, widening pulse pressures, and irregular
Cushing's Triad
respirations (Cheyenne-Stokes)
Results from cardiac insufficiency when cardiac output falls
Cardiogenic shock
below what the body requires (a pump problem)
Blood vessels become extremely permeable as the cells
release triggers to cause dilation of vessels to allow more
Septic shock
blood flow aka more infection control cells to mitigate the
"local" infection
An open or simple pneumothorax that generates and maintains
Tension pneumothorax
a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure
Contrecoup injuries Occur away from the primary site of impact
Accumulation of blood between the skull and dura matter.
Epidural hematoma
Usually caused by blunt trauma
Accumulation of blood beneath the dura matter. Usually occurs
Subdural hematoma after fall and is common in elderly pts, pts with bleeding
disorders and alcoholics
Bleeding within the brain tissue itself. Usually caused by a
Intracerebral hematoma
penetrating injury
The development of a high body temp after a brain injury that
Hyperpyrexia
can worsen the condition of the brain
The stretching, shearing, or tearing of nerve fibers that causes
Diffuse axonal injuries damage to the axons of the nerve cell. Common in severe
acceleration/ deceleration mechanisms
