Question 1
Intracranial hemorrhage's goal for treatment?
CORRECT ANSWER
Stop bleeding. Decrease icp.
Question 2
Subdural hematoma?
CORRECT ANSWER
bleeding between covering of brain (dura) and surface of brain. Compress brain tissue ,
leadin to brain dead. Most pt do not recover.
Question 3
Epidural hematoma?
CORRECT ANSWER
covering of the brain (dura) peel away from skull (from skull fracture). Wake up and die.
Changes in vital signs are late signs.
Question 4
SubArachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)?
CORRECT ANSWER
1
@THE STUDY VAULT
,aneurysm of artery in brain, causing rupture. This is a type of hemorhagic stroke. Risk for
repeated bleeding is 35% within. First 14 days post first bleed. Vasospasm is a common
complication of SAH. Cerebral angiogram can dx cerebral aneurysm. A ruptured aneurysm
has a risk for death of 40% , 08% disable after rupture.
Question 5
Normal ICP for adult?
CORRECT ANSWER
less than 15mmHg. When treating high ICP, the goal is to be 20 mmHg ICP.
Question 6
What is cushing's triad?
CORRECT ANSWER
three symptoms that indicate brian damage from high ICP. BRADYCARDIA, RESP
DEPRESSION, HYPERTENSION.
Question 7
What factors increase ICP?
CORRECT ANSWER
suction, any stimulations.
Question 8
Glascow score of 5 indicate?
CORRECT ANSWER
2
@THE STUDY VAULT
, Question 9
Cerebral angiogram?
CORRECT ANSWER
visualize cerebral blood flow and blood vessels. Can remove clot in bv at time of process.
Insertion of dye through femoral artery. Pt lies flat. Indicated for: atherosclerosis,
dissection, tumor, aneurysm, av malformation, stroke. Not for kidney failure, bleeding
issue, allergic to dye (iodine& shellfish). Cerebral angiogram can dx cerebral aneurysm. A
ruptured aneurysm has a risk for death of 40% , 08% disable after rupture.
Question 10
Av malformation?
CORRECT ANSWER
l connection between artery and vein without capillary bed between in brain blood
vessels. Leading to high pressure in veins (as vein is receiving blood too quick!-> weaken
bv-> risk aneurysm.
Question 11
WHY IS AVM BAD?
CORRECT ANSWER
1 risk of aneurysm rupture. 2 enlarged avm will put pressure on surrounding brain. 3 cells
that only gets oxy from capillary bed will die.
