Study Notes
Emergency Medicine & Trauma
- Life-threatening situation in vehicular accident: Respiratory arrest is the most critical concern.
- Unresponsive patient: Altered sensorium is a significant concern.
- Low blood pressure (Hypotension): Can lead to circulatory collapse in severe cases.
Abdominal Anatomy & Pathology
- Mass at T10 spinal level (diaphragmatic hiatus): Indicates a swallowing problem (dysphagia) as the most probable issue.
- Liver's superior surface regarding foramen of Winslow: The caudate lobe is superior to the foramen of Winslow.
- Internal oblique muscle direction: The internal oblique is inferomedial.
- Femoral artery puncture/damage: Deep circumflex iliac artery is likely affected, potentially causing significant bleeding.
- Hernia types: A protrusion of the small bowel lateral to major vessels suggests an indirect hernia.
- Abdominal cavity divisions: The transverse mesocolon divides the abdominal cavity into supracolic and infracolic regions.
- Conjoint tendon composition: The conjoint tendon is made up of transversus abdominis and internal oblique aponeuroses.
- Surgical layer closure order (during appendicitis): The external oblique is the layer you won't encounter.
- Location of the thoracoabdominal nerves: Found in between internal oblique and transversalis fascia.
- Retroperitoneal hematoma's possible source: A liver injury is less probable than injury to the kidney, duodenum, or pancreas.
