Study Notes
Epidemiology
- Most renal trauma occurs in males under 30 years old
- Usually caused by blunt force trauma
Pathophysiology
- Depends on the impact's force, speed, and mechanism
- Can range from contusion and hematoma to shattered kidney
Medical Management
- Diagnosis includes:
- Ultrasound
- CT scan
- IV pyelogram
- MRI
- Renal arteriography
Medical Management - Treatment
- Stabilize patient
- Provide pain control
- Surgical repair might be necessary
Surgical Management
- Nephrectomy
Complications
- Bleeding
Nursing Management - Assessment and Analysis
- Clinical manifestations depend on the extent of the patient's trauma
Nursing Management - Nursing Diagnoses
- Acute pain
- Impaired urinary elimination
Nursing Interventions - Assessments
- Vital signs
- Pain
- Urine output
- Laboratory values
Nursing Interventions - Actions
- Administer pain medication as ordered
