4 component of perfusion - ANSWER- adequate volume, air, intact/functioning vascular
system and working pump
hypovolemic shock - ANSWER- inadequate fluid volume in the vascular system
high space hypovolemic shock - ANSWER- caused by a spinal injury or drug overdose
Mechanical shock - ANSWER- preventing the filling of the heart or obstructing blood flow
cardiogenic shock - ANSWER- Shock caused by inadequate function of the heart, or pump
failure.
neurogenic shock - ANSWER- blood flow stopped from a cervical/thoracic spinal injury
septic shock - ANSWER- blood flow to organs become impaired from infection
pulmonary contusion - ANSWER- hemorrhage into lung parenchyma and is secondary to blunt
trauma
Cardiac Contusion - ANSWER- a bruise to the heart wall caused by severe blunt trauma to the
chest where the heart is violently compressed between the sternum and the spinal column
cardiac tamponade - ANSWER- Compression of the heart as the result of buildup of blood or

hemothorax - ANSWER- a collection of blood in the pleural cavity
flail chest - ANSWER- fracture of two or more adjacent ribs in two or more places that allows
for free movement of the fractured segment
Intracerebral Pressure - ANSWER- icp increases, blood pressure increases, pulse decreases
(hyperventilating cause bp to increase)
what stops your assessment - ANSWER- cardiac arrest, airway obstruction, unsafe scene
common causes of traumatic death - ANSWER- road injury, suicide, intentional injury, falls
mechanism of injury - ANSWER- Generalized- Localized-
Blast Injuries - ANSWER- Primary = blast wind/pressure wave
Secondary = flying debris
Tertiary = flying from blast
