TCAR ACTUAL PRACTICE TEST
QUESTIONS & CORRECT ANSWERS,
VERIFIED & ALREADY GRADED A+
why is it important to keep a hemorrhage pt warm
keep a trauma pt warm helps stop bleeding b/c you can't clot well if cold
What is done with the piece of the skull removed during crainectomy
store in bone freezer
implant in abdominal fat
replace w/metal, plastic, or 3D printer
how to prevent contractures
passive ROM
aka stress gastric ulcer
Cushing ulcer
possible cause of abdominal pain if in ICU
stress ulcer
intervention if at risk for clots
VTE prophylaxis
what is the most valuable piece of trauma equipment
,"You are the most valuable piece of equipment in the trauma room"
alcohol and SCI
alcohol has a key role in 25% of SCI
why should you know the direction of force
knowing the direction of the force helps predict injury
hyperflexion
blow to the back of the neck
blow to the back of the neck
hyperflexion
axial loading
long axis applied force
long axis applied force on the spinal cord
axial loading
causes of axial loading injuries
dive
,fall onto head
object falls on head
fall onto feet/butt
*compression fracture of the spine
distraction injury
bones of the spine are pulled apart. handgun including seatbelt hanging, internal
decapitation
3 categories of structures involved in TBI
bony (oath), spinal cord (neuro), associated structures
how many of each level of SCI
C7
T12
L5
5sacral
coccyx
how many vertebral bones do giraffes have
7 very big cervical
what happens to the different structures in the body when they encounter trauma
solid structures -crack
hollow-pop
, fixed-tear
what happens to vertebral discus when they encounter trauma
discs are "hollow" structures
hollow structures pop
herniate like squeezing a jelly donut
wha happens to ligaments in the vertebral column when they encounter truma
ligaments are fixed structures so they tear
difference between stable and unstable vertebral injuries
stable injuries are not a threat to the cord.
test of choice for the initial screening of bony structures
CT
when is MRI the test of choice
soft tissue
-done if you think there is cord injury, knee/shoulder/nonmetallic
diffuse axonal injury
relationship between the brain and spinal cord
the spinal cord is the "tail" of the brain
