Study Notes
Kidney Damage Signs
- Hematuria indicates kidney damage after blunt trauma.
Abdominal Trauma Management
- In cases of blunt abdominal trauma, don't give small sips of water. Instead, prioritize oxygen and transport to the hospital.
Bowel Protrusion Treatment
- For a large laceration with bowel protrusion, cover the exposed bowel with a moist sterile dressing and secure it with a dry bandage.
Shock in Patients
- For patients showing signs of shock during transport, closely monitor and frequently reassess their condition.
Penile Avulsion
- Apply direct pressure with a dry, sterile dressing for a moderate bleeding avulsion of the penis.
Decreasing Consciousness in Trauma Patients
- If a patient’s consciousness decreases after blunt trauma, insert an airway adjunct and assist ventilations with a bag valve mask.
Blood Accumulation Effects
- Accumulation of blood in the abdominal cavity leads to distention.
Abdominal Organs
- The spleen is not a hollow abdominal organ, while ureters, bladder, and stomach are hollow organs.
Open Abdominal Wound Depth
- Due to the difficulty in assessing the depth of an open abdominal wound, prompt transport to the hospital is crucial.
Upper Quadrant Bruising
- Bruising in the right upper quadrant after blunt trauma suggests liver injury.
Motor Vehicle Crash Abdominal Injuries
- Compression injuries during vehicle crashes often result from poorly placed lap belts.
