occasionally associated with a dry cough
What is required to diagnose a inhalation injury? - ANSWER-History of
exposure to heat or smoke in a a confined area, confirmed carbonaceous

errors
What is the appropriate action in a multi-causuality event? - ANSWER-Activate
the hospitals external disaster alert. The person in-charge is the incident
commander
What is the definitive treatment option for pelivc fracture stabilization? -
ANSWER-External fixation to stabilize and IVR for emboliation to control
bleeding
