7 ITLS 9th Edition
1.4 component of perfusion: adequate volume, air, intact/functioning vascular
system and working pump
2.hypovolemic shock: inadequate fluid volume in the vascular system
3.high space hypovolemic shock: caused by a spinal injury or drug overdose
4.Mechanical shock: preventing the filling of the heart or obstructing blood flow
5.cardiogenic shock: Shock caused by inadequate function of the heart, or pump
failure.
6.neurogenic shock: blood flow stopped from a cervical/thoracic spinal injury
7.septic shock: blood flow to organs become impaired from infection
8.pulmonary contusion: hemorrhage into lung parenchyma and is secondary to
blunt trauma 9.Cardiac Contusion: a bruise to the heart wall caused by severe blunt trauma to the chest where the heart is violently compressed between the sternum and the spinal column 10.cardiac tamponade: Compression of the heart as the result of buildup of blood or other fluid in the pericardial sac, leading to decreased cardiac output. 1 / 2

11.tension pneumothorax: a type of pneumothorax in which air that enters the
chest cavity is prevented from escaping
12.simple pneumothorax: a non-expanding collection of air around the lung.
13.hemothorax: a collection of blood in the pleural cavity
14.flail chest: fracture of two or more adjacent ribs in two or more places that allows for free movement of the fractured segment
15.Intracerebral Pressure: icp increases, blood pressure increases, pulse de-
creases (hyperventilating cause bp to increase)
16.what stops your assessment: cardiac arrest, airway obstruction, unsafe scene
17.common causes of traumatic death: road injury, suicide, intentional injury, falls
18.mechanism of injury: Generalized- Localized-
19.Blast Injuries: Primary = blast wind/pressure wave
Secondary = flying debris Tertiary = flying from blast Quaternary = thermal burns from blast Quinary- hyperinflammation from chemicals
20.Flail chest symptoms: -cyanosis
-difficulty breathing -increased pulse
