What can happen/is the biggest concern if someone gets hit in the chest with
something? -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Commotio cordis
Commotio cordis -ANSWER✅✅✅✅
Long QT syndrome -ANSWER✅✅✅✅heart condition associated with prolongation of
repolarization (recovery) following depolarization (excitation) of the cardiac ventricles. It
is associated with syncope (fainting) and sudden death from ventricular arrhythmias.
Aneuysms -ANSWER✅✅✅✅A localized weakening and swelling in the wall of a blood
vessel. Can be caused by a number of factors, including hypertension, atherosclerosis,
trauma, infection, or genetics.
Flailing of the chest -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Fractured ribs-> 2 or more ribs that are side by
side
Oblique fracture -ANSWER✅✅✅✅occurs diagonal across the bone
Transverse fracture -ANSWER✅✅✅✅occurs straight across the bone
Compound fracture -ANSWER✅✅✅✅break in the bone where the bone comes
through the skin; open fracture
Lisfranc fracture -ANSWER✅✅✅✅fracture and dislocation of the joints in the midfoot
in the area of the base of the first and second metatarsals
Hypertension -ANSWER✅✅✅✅High blood pressure, higher than 140/90
hypotension -ANSWER✅✅✅✅low blood pressure, lower than 90/60
normal blood pressure -ANSWER✅✅✅✅120/80
,Micro trauma -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Small unnoticed injuries that build up over time
Macro trauma -ANSWER✅✅✅✅immediate onset, large trauma that causes injury
(acute)
subdural hematoma -ANSWER✅✅✅✅venus bleed caused by blow to the head
causing the brain to hit point of contact and subdural vessles to stretch and tear.
subdural hematoma treatment -ANSWER✅✅✅✅-monitoring/observation
-surgical intervention if needed to decompress brain
-sometimes body can absorb blood and heal Itself through medication
epidural hematoma -ANSWER✅✅✅✅arterial bleed caused by severe blow to the
head producing a skull fracture in the temporoparietal region. fast developing (10-20
mins), blood accumulates between dura mater and inner surface of the skull, possible
LOC and period of lucidity
cerebral concussion -ANSWER✅✅✅✅most common concussion associated with
every sport
mild concussion (grade 1) -ANSWER✅✅✅✅-most frequent
-results in mental impairment
-no LOC
-dizziness and photosensitivity
-tinnitus
-decline in coordination (can be tested with rhomburgs)
-headache
moderate concussion (grade 2) -ANSWER✅✅✅✅-momentary (less than 1 min) LOC
-requires careful consideration and clinical care
-transient mental confusion
-tinnitus
-moderate dizziness
-post traumatic amnesia (>30 mins)
-blurred vision (possible optic nerve compromise)
-balance disturbances (possible optic nerve compromise)
-nausea
severe concussion (grade 3) -ANSWER✅✅✅✅-more significant LOC (more than 1
min)
- post traumatic amnesia (>24 hours)
-retrograde amnesia
-decreased neuromuscular coordination
, severe concussion (grade 3) management -ANSWER✅✅✅✅-serial observations
should be conducted (ask them to remember 3 words)
-rest
-physician evaluation if prolonged w consideration of brain neuroimagining
-no RTP until symptom free
retrograde amnesia -ANSWER✅✅✅✅loss of memories from before injury
anterograde amnesia -ANSWER✅✅✅✅loss of memory after injury
tinnitus -ANSWER✅✅✅✅ringing in the ears
coup injury -ANSWER✅✅✅✅blow to head produces brain injury at point of impact
contrecoup injury -ANSWER✅✅✅✅blow to head produces brain injury on opposite
side of hit
Prehypertension -ANSWER✅✅✅✅120-139/80-89
jaw-thrust maneuver -ANSWER✅✅✅✅A technique used to open the airway of a
trauma patient with possible neck or spine injury
head tilt-chin lift maneuver -ANSWER✅✅✅✅A combination of two movements to
open the airway by tilting the forehead back and lifting the chin; not used for trauma
patients.
splenic injuries -ANSWER✅✅✅✅-Caused by direct trauma to left lower chest/upper
left quadrant
-Present with fainting, dizziness, weakness due to blood loss
-Referred pain to left shoulder (Kehr's sign)
-Palpation will reveal upper left quadrant mass, distention, rigidity
-Ballone sign = dullness in left flank and shifting position dullness in right flank
Intestinal Injuries -ANSWER✅✅✅✅-Rarely reported
-Injuries to duodenum usually associated with direct blow to epigastric region or in
conjunction with pancreas injury
-Signs & symptoms are very subtle
-Delay in diagnosis = increased mortality
Renal injuries (kidney injuries) -ANSWER✅✅✅✅-one of the most common sports
abdominal injuries
-signs and symptoms: pain in flank, hematuria is most frequent (blood in urine)
