QUESTION AND CORRECT DETAILED
VERIFIED ANSWERS FROM VERIFIED
SOURCES BY EXPERT RATED A GRADE
primary injury
initial damage to the brain that results from the traumatic event
not reversible
secondary injury
an insult to the brain subsequent to the original traumatic event
progressive with delayed cell death
The more time that the injury effects the brain
the more tissue that is affected/gone (Time is tissue)
The three types of mechanisms of brain injury
ischemia, hypoxia, increased ICP
When there is an extreme increase of ICP, this can cause a ____________
reaction called ___________
sympathetic
Cushing reflex
,An early sign of brain injury is _______ which then can turn to a late sign,
which causes ________
Sluggish pupil dilation
pupil dilation
unequal size of pupils
anisocoria
Most hemorrhagic strokes occur in the ____________ or ___________
basal ganglia
thalamus
Patient with ______ hemispheric damage have issues receiving the
relationship of two or more objects in spacial areas
right
Consists of poor articulation and sparse vocabulary
Brocas Aphasia
Characterized by impaired auditory comprehension and speech that is fluent
but does not make sense
Wernickes aphasia
Risk factors for aneurysms
Marfan Syndrome, Lupus, and bacterial endocarditis
Basilar skull fracture is likely associated with
CSF leaking in ears or nose
encephalitis
inflammation of the brain usually caused by a virus
, When prescribing therapy for an acute stoke, it is important to determine is
it is a
ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke
cortical regions
frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe
subcortical region
the region located within the brain, beneath the cortical surface
brainstem is responsible for
automatic survival functions
migrane headache
a headache characterized by sudden onset and severe throbbing pain on one
side of the head
diffuse axonal traumatic brain injury
Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) results from widespread shearing and rotational
forces that produce damage throughout the brain—to axons in the cerebral
hemispheres, corpus callosum, and brain stem
CTs or MRIs can detect them
Cushing reflex
Severe hypertension, widening pulse pressure, bradycardia
When the basilar skull fractures, what is likely to Leak?
CSF
What are signs of increased ICP?
