X-ray Pneumothorax
Procedure: Upright PA chest x-ray in inspiration is the modality of choice.
Supportive findings of pneumothorax
• Ipsilateral pleural line with reduced/absent lung markings
• Abrupt change in radiolucency
Deep sulcus sign
• Decreased radiodensity and deep costophrenic angle on the ipsilateral side.
• The sign is a result of interpleural air that collects basally and anteriorly in the supine
position.
Hemidiaphragm elevation on the ipsilateral side
If pulmonary disease is present: airway or parenchymal lesions
X-ray Find :
3. ATLS
a. Airway maintenance with cervical spin eprotection
i. 1st cervical spine stabilization
ii. Assess the airway → clear if patient can talk
iii. Unconscious → may not able to maintain airway
iv. Open airway by using chin lift or jaw thrust
v. Airway block by blood/vomit, use suction instrument
vi. Obstruction → pass endotracheal tube
b. Breathing and ventilation
i. Chest → IPPA
ii. Asses for subcutaneous emphysema and tracheal deviation
iii. Aim is to identify and manage 6 life threatening condition: airway
obstruction, tension pneumothorax, massive hemothorax, open
pneumothorax, flail chest segment with pulmonary contusion, and cardiac
tamponade
iv. Inspection → flail chest, tracheal deviation, penetrating injuries and bruising
v. Palpation → subcutaneous emphysema
vi. Percussion & auscultation → tension pneumothorax and hemothorax
c. Circulation with bleeding control
i. Hypovolemic caused by significant blood loss
ii. 2 large bores IV lines and crystalloid solution may be given
iii. External bleeding controlled by direct pressure
iv. Use of rFVIIa not supported, may help control bleeding, risk of arterial
thrombosis
d. Disability/neurologic assessment
i. AVPU
Alert, Verbal stimuli response, Painful stimuli response, or unresponsive
ii. Establish consciousness, pupil size and reaction, spinal cord injury level
iii. GCS = consciousness
iv. Altered consciousness → immediate reevaluation of patient oxygenation,
ventilation and perfusion status
v. Hypoglycemia, drugs and alcohol shoul be excluded to be considered as
traumatic brain injury
e. Exposure and environmental control
i. Undress the patient by cutting of the garments
ii. Cover the patient with warm blankets to prevent hypothermia
iii. Iv fluid should be warmed and warm environment maintained
iv. Patient privacy should be mmaintained
Complications from electrical injuries are similar to those of other thermal burns, such as
• infection (which can progress to sepsis),
• compartment syndrome,
• and rhabdomyolysis (due to extensive muscle damage from internal burns).
• injuries from being thrown from the electrical source or from falling from a height (roof,
bucket truck, ladder) due to the electrical shock, and these injuries (long bone fractures,
spinal fractures, lacerations, pneumothorax, etc.).
A special consideration is pediatric electrical injuries that occur as the result of a child
putting a cord in the mouth and biting down, causing burn injury to the corners of the
mouth. These patients can be sent home if there are no other associated injuries, however,
the complication in this case to warn parents about is delayed bleeding from the labial
artery, which can occur about 7 days following the date of injury.
Due to the complicated nature of injury patterns with electrical injuries, anything more than
a minor electrical injury should have a qualified trauma and burn center as a final
disposition.
HemoPneumothorax :
6. Pneumothorax vs tensionpneumothorax
a. Pneumothorax → collection of air withnin the pleural space between lung ( visceral
pleura) and the chest wall (parietal pleura) that lead to partial or complete
pulmonary collapse
b. Classified as:
1. Spontaneous pneumothorax
a) primary spontenous pneumothorax → occur in patients without clinically
apparent underlying lung disease
b) Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax → occur as complication of underlying
lung disease
c) Recurrent pneumothorax → a 2nd epiosede of spontaneous pneumothorax, either
ipsi/contralateral
2. Traumatic pneumothorax → penuomthorax caused by trauma (penetrating injurt
and iatrogenic trauma)
3. Tension pneumothorax → life threatening variant of pneumothorax characterized
by progressively increase pressure within chest and cardiorespiratory compromise
c. Pneumothorax : increase intrapleural pressure → alveolar collapse → decreased
V/Q ratio and increase right to left shunting
Tension pneumothorax: (accumulate air compress the lung, shift the mediastinum,
elevate intrathoracic pressure, lower venous return, and lower cardiac output
causoing shick)
1.Disrupted viscerlal pleura, parietal pleura or tracheobronchial tree
2. One way valve mechanism, in which air enters the pleural space in inspiration but
can’t exit
3. Progressive accumulation of air in the pleural space and increasing positive
pressure within the chest
4. Collapse of ipsilateral lung, compression of contralateral lung, trachea, heart, and
SVC, angulation of inferior vena cava
5. Impaired respiratory function, reduced venous return to the heart
6. Reduced cardiac output
7. Hypoxia and hemodynamic instability
7. Compartment Syndrome
compartment syndrome:
• pain,
• pallor (pale skin tone),
• paresthesia (numbness feeling),
• pulselessness (faint pulse)
• and paralysis (weakness with movements).
8. Celiotomy
a. Known as laparotomy
b. Surgical procedure involving small incisions through the abdominal wall to gain acess
into the abdominal cavity
c. Space accessed : digestive tract, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen, bladder, male
prostate, female uterus & ovaries, retroperitoneum ( kidneys, aorta and abdominal
lymph node)
d. Typ eof incision
i. Midline (most common)
vertical incision on the middle of abdomen which follow linea alba
1)upper midline incision extend fromxiphoid process to the umbilicus
2) lower midline incision limited by umbilicus superiorly and symphisis pubis
inferiorly
3)sometimes bisa gabungan keduanya dari xiphoid-symphisis pubis
4) midline incision technique:
- cut the skin in midline(linea alba)
-cut subcutaneous tissue
-divide the linea alba(white line of abdomen)
-pick up peritoneum, confirm that there is no bowel adhesion (intestinal
adhesion)
-nick peritoneum
-insert finger beneath the wound to make sure that there is no adhesion
-cut the peritoneum with scissors
ii. Kocher (right subcostal) incision → for liver, gallbladder and biliary tract
iii. Davis/rockey-davis → muscle splitting in RLQ incision doe appendectomy
iv. Pfannenstiel incision → transverse incision below umbilicus and above
symphisis pubis, skin and subkutan incised transversally, but linea alba
opened vertically. For cesarean section and abdominal hysterectomy.
v. Lumbotomy → lumbar incision which permit access to kidneys without
entering peritoneal cavity. Used for benign renal lesion and surgery of the
upper urological tract
9. EDH, SDH, SAH
The uncus can squeeze the oculomotor nerve (a.k.a.
CN III), which may affect the parasympathetic input to the eye on the side of the affected nerve,
causing the pupil of the affected eye to dilate and fail to constrict in response to light as it should.
Pupillary dilation often precedes the somatic motor effects of CN III compression
called oculomotor nerve palsy or third nerve palsy. This palsy presents as deviation of the eye to
a "down and out" position due to loss of innervation to all ocular motility muscles except for
the lateral rectus (innervated by abducens nerve (a.k.a. CN VI) and the superior
oblique (innervated by trochlear nerve a.k.a. CN IV). The symptoms occur in this order because
the parasympathetic fibers surround the motor fibers of CN III and are hence compressed
first.[citation needed]
Compression of the ipsilateral posterior cerebral artery will result in ischemia of the ipsilateral
primary visual cortex and contralateral visual field deficits in both eyes
(contralateral homonymous hemianopsia).
Another important finding is a false localizing sign, the so-called Kernohan's notch, which results
from compression of the contralateral[9] cerebral crus containing descending corticospinal and
some corticobulbar tract fibers. This leads to Ipsilateral hemiparesis in reference to the herniation
and contralateral hemiparesis with reference to the cerebral crus.
With increasing pressure and progression of the hernia there will be distortion of the brainstem
leading to Duret hemorrhages (tearing of small vessels in the parenchyma) in the median and
paramedian zones of the mesencephalon and pons. The rupture of these vessels leads to linear
or flamed shaped hemorrhages. The disrupted brainstem can lead to decorticate posture,
respiratory center depression and death. Other possibilities resulting from brain stem distortion
include lethargy, slow heart rate, and pupil dilation.[8]
Uncal herniation may advance to central herniation.[6] The sliding uncus syndrome represents
uncal herniation without alteration in the level of consciousness and other sequelae mentioned
above.
a.
22. Dalam kondisi ini kita harus selalu mengecek ABC, Airway dan Breathinng sudah
dilakukan. Tetapi untuk sirkulasi masih belum dilakukan. Pasien mengalami hypovolemic
shock.
23. Pada anak kecil , jumlah volume darah yang hilang untuk menjadi shock, lebih sedikit
dibandingkan pada dewasa. Tapi persentasinya volume blood losenya lebih tinggi disbanding
pada dewasa. Kira-kira 30% dari volume darah yang hilang untuk menyebabkan penurunan
dari tekanan darah sistolik pada anak-anak.
24. Karena ada pengurangan sensasi pada kaki medial dann jempol, ini merupakan masalah
neurovascular pada kaki kanan. Dengan dilakukannnya realignment pada fraktur, dapat
menngurangu kompresi dan dapat membebaskan beberapa pembuluh darah apabila ada yang
terjepit.
Lalu boleh dilakukan angiography atau ct, untuk menilai perfusi alirann darahnya.
25. Pada lateral c-spine, harus terlihat dasar dari tengkorak, semua ke-7 dari cervical spine,
dan bagian superior dari vertebra thorakik pertama harus terlihat.
C-spine film, harus dilakukan pada secondary survey.
26. Epidural hematoma, karena ada lucid interval diantara waktu kecelakaan dan penurunan
neurologis.
28. Pakai torakostomi pada hemitoraks kiri dikarenakan → ada absent sound yang
menandakan adanya pneumothorax.
29. Pada kasus 24 tahun pasien massive hemothorax → harus dipasang central venous
pressure, untuk mendeteksi tekanan darah Karenna adanya desakann dari hemothorax,
mendesak jantung maupunn paru.
30. Fetal hypoxia dan distress → pada saat gestasi, vaskularisi berdilatasi maksima, karena
sangat sensitive terhadap stimulasi dari katekolamin. Pada wanita hamil yang kehilangann
banyak darah, dapat meningkatkann resisten dari pembuluh ke janin, mengurangi oksigenasi
ke fetal.
31. Precutaneuous peripheral veins in the upper extremities → karena lebih disarankan untuk,
rapid infusion dalam volume yang besar.
32. Karena tidak ada pendarahann dann fraktur, maka curiga trauma tumpul, mennyebabkann
pendarahan hemmorhage pada bagian dada dan abdomen.
33. Bilateral compartment syndrome → Paralysis pada otot kaki, merupakan tanda-tanda dari
compartment syndrome.
34.
Semua di atas benar, kecuali pada mediastinal emphysema Karenna → bukan merupakan
tannda dari rupture aorta, tapi merupakan tanda dari rupture esophageal.
35. Mencegah secondary brain injury → Pada Trauma Brain Injury, primer brain in jury,
terjadi karena hasil inisial, sedangkan pada secondary injury terjadi secara berkala. Memiliki
tujuan untuk mencegah develop menjadi secondary injury.
36. Kecelakaan maka yang dilihat → ABC, Airway yang pertama, maka harus dilakukan
endotracheal intubation.
37. Fracture of the cribiform plate → karena apabila dilakukann dalam konndisi fraktur
cribiform, ngt bisa masuk langsung ke otak.
38. Intercostal nerve blocks untuk relief pain. → pada pasienn terlihat adanya flail chest dan
pulmonary contusion. Ada hypoventilasi dan nyeri yang intens. Pertukaran udaranya
terganggu Karena adanya pulmonary contusion. Ventilasi bisa diimprove dengann analgesic.
39. Urinary output → untuk menmonitor resusitasi dan responn pasien. Sebagai indicator dari
perfusi rennalis dengan begitu, penanda perfusi secara general.
