Question
Answer
most common cause of head trauma and subdural hematoma   mva  
🗑
falls are associated with...   subdural hematomas  
🗑
trauma with sharp projectiles   penetrating trauma  
🗑
VS change late in neuro    
🗑
vs with loss of autoregulation w IICP   body responds to IICP by raising BP, in BP moves blood into brain, further IICP, HR falls in response to rising BP  
🗑
Cushings triad   inc in IPC, BP (S inc, D stays same "widening", diff between gets larger), dec P, altered breathing  
🗑
narrowing between S & D BP values equals   shock, inc P  
🗑
widening between S & D BP values (S=inc and D=stays same) equals   neuro, dec P  
🗑
VS with IICP   inc BP, dec P, Resp, Cushings Triad  
🗑
VS with shock   dec BP, Inc P, Resp  
🗑
Glasgow Coma Scale= Eye opening response   4=spontaneous, 3=to voice, 2=to pain, 1=none  
🗑
glasgow coma scale=best verbal response   5=converses oriented, 4=converses disoriented, 3=inappropriate words, 2=incomprehensible words, 1=no verbalization  
🗑
glascow coma scale=best motor response   6=obeys and follows commands, 5=localizes byt clearly pushed away from pain, 4=withdraws only to painful stimuli, 3=decoraticate, 2= decerebrate, 1=flaccid-no response to noxious stimuli  
🗑
decoraticate   abnormal flexion of arms and extension of legs, to noxious stimuli (problem with cervical spinal tract or cerebral hemisphere. flexor posturing "to the core"  
🗑
decerebrate   abnormal extension of all extremities to noxious stimuli (prob w mid brain or pons) exterior posturing  
🗑
caloric test   ice H2O in ear to jerky eyes-nystagmus CN VIII  
🗑
pupil response with ICP   raised ICP and temporal (Uncal) hermiation can press on occulomotor cranial nerve III, pupil dilates on side of brain w ICP first. Initially reacts briskly to light later sluggish  
🗑
rapid, rhythmic constriction and dilation of pupil, may indicate IICP. pupil doesnt stay constricted with light   hippus  
🗑
reflex activity   superficial, deep tendon (ankle, knee, biceps, triceps), corneal, oculocephalic (dolls eye reflex), oculovestibular (caloric test)  
🗑
abnormal reflex assessment..babinski   dorsiflexion of the great toe with fanning of other toes. not good in adult  
🗑
abnormal reflex assessment..clonus   rapid alternating flexion/extention of a stretch muscle  
🗑
abn reflex ass..battles sign   fx of middle cranial fossa  
🗑
abn reflex ass..raccoon eyes   fx of frontal portion of skull base  
🗑
dx tests for head trauma.lumbar punctures should not be done with IICP due to   pressure will be decreased to fast  
🗑
dx tests for head trauma. cerebral angiography   looks at vessels in head. painful  
🗑
EEG   looks at electrical activity of the brain  
🗑
mechanism of injury to head   blunt, penetrating, coup-contrecoup=deceleration injury  
🗑
type of injury skull fracture   cerebral concussion, cerebral contusion, hematoma (epidural, subdural, intracrebral)  
🗑
