UCLA EMT TRAUMA TEST Exam
Questions And Answers 100% Pass
Perfusion - ANS Delivery of O2 and removal of CO2
- Requires a pump (heart), fluid (blood), and vessels
Hypoperfusion - ANS inadequate flow of blood: i.e. SHOCK
Hypovolemic shock - ANS shock resulting from blood or fluid loss
- can be a result of bleeding, burns, or dehydration
Distributive shock - ANS widespread vasodilation
- can be caused by SEPSIS
Sepsis - ANS - Severe infection that has an initial point then spreads throughout bloodstream
- Toxins from infection destroy vessel walls, leading to capillary permeability & reduced
intravascular fluid
How to treat septic shock? - ANS POWR: Position (supine), O2, Warmth, Rapid transport
Neurogenic shock - ANS loss of control of muscular tone of blood vessels (due to a spinal
cord injury & damage to the nervous system)

Symptoms of neurogenic shock - ANS hypotension and bradycardia (only vagus signal bc of
sympathetic damage)
- usually warm, dry skin below injury (unlike other types of shock)
Anaphylactic shock - ANS Severe allergic reaction that leads to widespread vasodilation
Anaphylactic shock symptoms - ANS - Increased vascular permeability
- Bronchoconstriction
- Stridor
- Hives, edema, itching
4 types of skull fractures - ANS - linear, depressed, open, basilar
Linear skull fracture - ANS A simple crack in the skull
- least deadly
- most common
- usually perpendicular to suture in skull
Depressed skull fracture - ANS Inward indentation of the skull with possible pressure on
brain
- Usually caused from direct trauma to skull (I.e. baseball bat to head)
- Will feel abnormal
Open skull fracture - ANS a skull fracture with an associated open wound to the overlying
scalp
- pierced brain cavity
- worst injury, most deadly
