ATLS: Thermal Injuries Test Quiz Bank Graded and
Verified Complete Solution 2023
airway compromise correct answers The major principles of thermal injury management include
maintaining a high index of suspicion for the presence of __________ following smoke inhalation and
secondary to burn edema; identifying and managing associated mechanical injuries; maintaining
hemodynamic normality with volume resuscitation; controlling temperature; and removing the patient
from the in- jurious environment.
rhabdomyolysis and cardiac dysrhythmias correct answers Clinicians also must take measures to prevent
and treat the potential com- plications of specific burn injuries. Examples include ________, which can
be associated with electrical burns; extremity or truncal compartment syndrome, which can occur with
large burn resuscitations; and ocular injuries due to flames or explosions.
extent of the inflammatory response to the injury correct answers The most significant difference
between burns and other injuries is that the consequences of burn injury are directly linked to the
_________
edema correct answers Airway injury in burns may develop over time and not be immediately present
compared to other trauma, this is due to the process of ______
capillary correct answers Burn injury hypovolemia is due to the inflammatory changes and _____ leak
leak correct answers The goal of burn resuscitation is to maintain intravascular fluid in the face of an
ongoing ________. Whereas the other trauma stops the leak and fills vascular space.
Clean (the heat killed the bacteria) correct answers Are burn injuries dirty or clean?
immediate intubation correct answers Stridor occurs late and indicates the need for _____
intubate the patient correct answers Transfer patient to burn center with inhalation injury but first
neck correct answers Early intubation is indicated for full thickness circumferential ____ burns
carbon monoxide poisoning correct answers Direct thermal injury to the lower airway is very rare and
essentially occurs only after exposure to superheated steam or ignition of inhaled flammable gases.
Breathing concerns arise from three general causes: hypoxia, __________, and smoke inhalation injury.
carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) correct answers The diagnosis of CO poisoning is made primarily from a
history of exposure and direct measurement of __________
high-flow (100%) oxygen via a non-rebreathing mask. correct answers Because the half-life of HbCO can
be reduced to 40 minutes by breathing 100% oxygen, any patient in whom CO exposure could have
occurred should receive __________
2ml lactated ringer x patients body weight in kg x % TBSA
