What are some of the potential injury patterns for a
mechanism of Injury of pedestrian vs. car? (Name 4) -
Answer--Head injury
-Aortic disruption
-Abdominal visceral injuries
-Fracture pelvis and lower extremities
What is "index of suspicion"? - Answer-The medical
provider's estimate of a disease or injury being present in
a patient. A high index of suspicion means there is a high
probability the injury is present. A low index of suspicion
means there is a low risk of the injury.
List the two basic mechanisms of motion injury - Answer-
Blunt and penetrating
Identify the three collisions associated with a motor-
vehicle collision (MVC) - Answer-1. Machine collision
,2|Page
2. Body collision
3. Organ collision resulting in rupture, shearing, or bruising
Name the five common forms of MVCs - Answer-1.
Frontal-impact (head-on collision)
2. Lateral-impact (T-bone collision)
3. Rear-impact collision
4. Rollover collision
5. Rotational collision
Using the three collisions associated with a MVC, relate at
least three frontal-impact collisions to potential patient
injuries to deformity of the vehicle, interior structures and
body structures. - Answer-Machine collision = Deformed
front end
Body collision = Spider-web pattern of windshield
Organ collision = Coup/contracoup brain, soft-tissue injury
(scalp, face, neck), hyperextension/flexion of the cervical
spine
Machine collision = Deformed front end
,3|Page
Body collision = Steering wheel ring fracture, deformity
and column displacement
Organ collision = Traumatic tattooing of patient's skin
Machine collision = Deformity of vehicle
Body collision = Dashboard fracture and deformity
Organ collision = Facial trauma, coup/contracoup brain,
hyperextension/flexion of the cervical spine, pelvis, hip
and knee trauma
What is a Scene Size-Up? - Answer-Observations made
and actions taken at a trauma scene before actually
approaching the patient. It is the initial step in the ITLS
Primary Survey
What does "OPIM" stand for? - Answer-Other Potentially
Infectious Material
What equipment should you always take with you for
trauma patients? - Answer--PPE (Personal Protection
Equipment)
-Patient transport device (stretcher, long spine board, and
so on) with effective strapping and head motion-restriction
device
, 4|Page
-Rigid cervical extrication collar of an appropriate size
-Oxygen and airway equipment, which should include
suction equipment and a BVM (Bag-Valve Mask)
-Trauma box (bandage material, hemostatic agent,
tourniquet, blood pressure cuff, stethoscope)
What are some of the potential injury patterns for a
mechanism of Injury of frontal impact? (Name 8) - Answer-
-Cervical-spine fracture
-Flail chest
-Myocardial contusion
-Pneumothorax
-Aortic disruption
-Spleen or liver laceration
-Posterior hip dislocation
-Knee dislocation
What are some of the potential injury patterns for a
mechanism of lateral impact (T-bone)? (Name 8) -
Answer--Contralateral neck sprain
-Cervical-spine fracture
-Lateral flail chest
