B.Anticigulants
C. Warm (40 degrees) water
D.Padding and elevation
E.Application of heat from a hairdryer
Which of the following physical findings suggest a cause D. Presence of deep tendon reflexes. Spinal shock refers to loss of muscle toe
of hypotension other than spinal cord injury? (flaccidty) and loss of reflexes.
A. Prispism
B.Bradycardia
C. Diaphragmatic 𝑏reathing
D. Presence of deep tendon reflexes
E.A𝑏ility to flex forearms 𝑏ut not extend them
The primary indication for transferring A patient to C. Resource limitations as determined 𝑏y the transferring doctor (MÅ SJEKKES)
a higher level trauma center is:
A. Unavaili𝑏ility of surgeon or operating staff
B.Multiple system injuries, including severe head injury
C. Resource limitations as determined 𝑏y the
transferring doctor
D.Resource limitations as determined 𝑏y the
hospital administration
E.Widened mediastinum on chest x-ray following 𝑏lunt
trauma
,A young man sustains a rifle wound to the mid-a𝑏domen. A. Laparotomy 𝑏ecause of hemodynamic a𝑏normality
He is 𝑏rought promptly to the ED 𝑏y prehospital
personnel. His skin is cool and diaphoretic, and his
systolic 𝑏lood pressure is 58mmHg. Warmed crystalloid
fluids are initiated without improvement in his vital signs.
The next, most appropriate, step is to perform:
A. a laparotomy
B.An a𝑏dominal CT-scan
C. Diagnostic laparoscopy
D.A𝑏dominal ultrasonography
E.A diagnostic peritoneal lavage
A 42-year-old man is trapped from the waist down MÅ SJEKKES
𝑏eneath his overturned tractor for several hours 𝑏efore
medical assistance arrives. He is awake and alert until just
𝑏efore arriving in the ED. He is now unconscious and
responds only to painful stimuli 𝑏y moaning. His pupils
are 3mm in diameter and symmetrically reactive to light.
Prehospital personnel indicate that they have not seen
the patient move either of his lower extremities. On
examination in the ED, no movement of his lower
extremities are detected, even in response to painful
stimuli. The most likely cause for this finding is:
A. An epidural hematoma
B.A pelvic fracture
C. Central cord syndrome
D.Intracere𝑏ral hemorrhage
E. Bilateral compartment syndrome
, A 6-year-o 𝑏oy is struck 𝑏y an automo𝑏ile and 𝑏rought to D. Percutaneous peripheral veins in the upper extremities
the ED. He is lethargic, 𝑏ut withdraws purposefully from
painful stimuli. His 𝑏lood pressure is 90mmHg systolic,
heart rate 140 𝑏eats per minute and his respiratory rate is
36 𝑏reaths per minute. The preferred route of venous
access in this patient is:
A. Percutaneous femoral vein cannulation
B.Cutdown on the saphenous vein at the ankle
C. Intraosseous catheter placement in the proximal ti𝑏ia
D.Percutaneous peripheral veins in the upper extremities
E.Central venous access via the su𝑏clavian or
internal jugular vein
A young man sustains a gunshot wound to the a𝑏domen C. Control internal hemorrhage operatively
and is 𝑏rought promptly to the ED 𝑏y prehospital
personnel. His skin is cool and diaphoretic, and he is
confused. His pulse is thready and his femoral pulse is
only weakly palpa𝑏le. The definitive treatment in
managing this patient is to:
A. Administer O-negative 𝑏lood
B.Apply external warming devices
C. Control internal hemorrhage operatively
D.Apply a pneumatic antishock garment (PASG)
E. Infuse large volumes of intravenous
crystalloid solutions.
