What is the Causative Agent in Trauma? - Accurate Answer✅✅Energy
Understanding injury potential in a trauma patient involves analyzing WHAT 4
FACTORS? - Accurate Answer✅✅1) The Nature and amt of force. 2)Various
patient characteristics. 3)Characteristics of the wounding agent.
4)Tissue characteristics.
What does the Nature and amount of force mean? - Accurate Answer✅✅Force is
the dose of kinetic energy involved. Force=weight x speed *2
What was the dose of energy? A small increase in speed produces a significant
increase in force.
In car accidents....going fast isn't really the problem. It's not the speed but the ____
that kills. - Accurate Answer✅✅Stop. Stop is when energy gets applied to the
tissues. Both a patients SPEED and Deceleration distance predict potential injuries.
,What is the benefit of safety devices in vehicles? - Accurate Answer✅✅They add
deceleration distance. Airbags give occupants 12+ inches to dissipate energy.
Seatbelts are designed to have stretch, allowing to "ride down" the energy. Flexible
crash barriers (helmets, knee pads) add decel distance.
Indicators of force. The force went somewhere...so where did it go? - Accurate
Answer✅✅Some indicators of force are readily notated on physical exam but
others may not be evident for hours or days. Obvious, delayed and subtle.
What is the gender risk of trauma? - Accurate Answer✅✅More than 2/3 major
trauma patients are MALE.
Trauma incidence peaks at what age? - Accurate Answer✅✅Teen and young adult
years.
What age trauma patient has the worse outcomes? - Accurate
Answer✅✅Extremes of age.
What are some environmental risks for trauma? - Accurate Answer✅✅High risk
jobs, associate with dangerous people, engage in extreme sport, abuse alcohol and
other drugs, use weapons
What is the two most popular forces associated with injury? - Accurate
Answer✅✅Mechanical or gravitational forces.
What are the 6 types of injuring energy forces? - Accurate Answer✅✅Mechanical,
Gravitational, Thermal, Chemical, Electrical, Radiant
,What is injury Mechanism? - Accurate Answer✅✅The Means by which energy is
transferred to the tissues.
What are 5 injury mechanisms? - Accurate Answer✅✅Blunt, penetrating, Crush,
Burn, Blast
Energy is generally applied in characteristic patterns. By analyzing
_________ ,_________, _______,_________, and __________ it is possible to
predict fairly accurately the injuries a patient will sustain. - Accurate
Answer✅✅Type, amount, location, direction, and duration.
What are 4 blunt trauma classifications? - Accurate Answer✅✅Motor Vehicle
Collisions, Auto-Pedestrian Incidences, Falls, Struck by or against an object.
Rear Impact Collisions - Accurate Answer✅✅Commonly low velocity (backing
up or both moving forward). Rear seat occupants are greater risk. The body if first
thrown forward while head lags behind.
Frontal collisions - Accurate Answer✅✅65% of all crashes, most vehicle safety
devices are engineered primarily for frontal impacts.
Neck Hyperextension followed by hyperflexion (Cervical Strain or whiplash) -
Accurate Answer✅✅Rear impact collisions
Lateral impact collisions (AKA broadside or T-bone) - Accurate Answer✅✅Side
blow. There are only 6-8 inches between the occupant of one vehicle and the
bumper of the other. Steel side beams and lateral airbags reduce force transmission.
Look for indicators of force on anterior body surfaces. - Accurate
Answer✅✅Frontal Collisions.
, Look for massive unilateral patient injury. - Accurate Answer✅✅Lateral impact
collisions (AKA broadside or T-bone)
Rollover Collisions - Accurate Answer✅✅Energy transmission depends primarily
on deceleration distance because energy is dissipated over the distance of the roll
(vs driving in a wall). Depends on whether or not the occupants were restrained.
Unrestrained occupants become free-floating objects, subject to the centrifugal
forces. Can be spun out of the vehicle. - Accurate Answer✅✅Rollover collision
Auto Vs. Pedestrian Injuries laws of physics - Accurate Answer✅✅Mass of the
vehicle times its velocity ^2, Majority of this force is transmitted to the pedestrian.
Energy is transmitted to the Pedestrian at the _________________ __
___________ with the vehicle. - Accurate Answer✅✅Points of contact.
Auto Vs. Pedestrian Injuries variables include: (x5) - Accurate
Answer✅✅1)Height of the hood.
2)Height of the bumper.
3)Size and weight of the particular vehicle.
4)Height of the pedestrian.
5)Direction the pedestrian was facing when struck.
Falls - Accurate Answer✅✅Most common mechanism of injury in all age groups.
The velocity of a fall is.... - Accurate Answer✅✅The speed of
gravity=32ft/sec/sec
