7. Sucking Chest an open chest wound in which air is "sucked" into the chest cavity
Wound
8. Tension Pneu- a pneumothorax with rapid accumulation of air in the pleural space causing

vessels.
9. Flail Chest fracture of two or more adjacent ribs in two or more places that allows for free
movement of the fractured segment
10. Simple Pneu- Any pneumothorax that is free from significant physiologic changes and does not
mothorax cause drastic changes in the vital signs of the patient.
11. Open Pneumoth- An open or penetrating chest wall wound through which air passes during inspi-
orax ration and expiration, creating a sucking sound; also referred to as a sucking chest
wound.

13. Kehrs sign Referred pain down the left shoulder; indicative of a ruptured spleen.
14. Cullens sign superficial edema and bruising in the subcutaneous fatty tissue around the um-
bilicus
15. Subcutaneous A physical finding of air within the subcutaneous tissue
