What closed fracture sites will most likely result in the largest amount of blood loss?
There are quite a few areas - all of these focus on bones that are proximal to arteries or vascular-rich organs. One of the biggest and most commonly observed problem areas is the femur. Because of the situation of the femur and the femoral artery, fracture of the femur can lead to damage of the femoral artery. This causes extensive blood loss, but it is limited by the pressures generated by the surrounding tissues. Other areas of the concern are largely in the thorax, where broken ribs and clavicles from a crushing injury can lead to organ damage and hemorrhage, or in some severe cases, traumatic embolus formation in the case of subclavian artery damage. The thorax is a large and fairly cavernous structure, so bleeding into it can be extensive.
What else can I help you with?
An Airman involved in an accident has a fractured arm The bone is not protruding from the skin however the arm is in an abnormal position Based on this information what is the most likely assesment?
He has a closed fracture.
Why is osteomyelitis more likely to occur after a compound fracture than after a greenstick fracture?
Osteomyelitis is more likely to occur after a compound fracture because a compound fracture exposes the bone and surrounding tissues to external bacteria, creating a direct pathway for infection. In contrast, a greenstick fracture, which is an incomplete fracture common in children, typically involves a bending of the bone without breaking through the skin, thus maintaining a barrier against pathogens. The open nature of compound fractures increases the risk of infection significantly compared to the closed nature of greenstick fractures.
What is the largest amount of space on any Sandisk sd card?
Currently the largest amount of storage space on an SD card is 256 Mb. However, this has been increasing every year and it will likely double soon again.
What is the specific name of a fracture called?
Sometimes, excess pressure is applied to a bone that results in the breaking of the bone, also called a fracture. Fractures are common. Most people suffer from fractures at least once during their lifetime. Children's bones are relatively more flexible and less likely to break. Falls or other accidents that do not cause harm in children can cause complete fractures in older adults. Older adults suffer from fractures more than children because their bones are comparatively brittle.Bone fractures are caused by various reasons. It could be because of a fall from a height, motor accidents and repetitive forces on the bone because of physical activities like running or weightlifting.Different types of bone fractures: -Open Fracture : An open fracture is a fracture where the broken bone is exposed. That is dangerous because of increased chances of infection.Closed Fracture : A closed fracture is a fracture where the bone is broken, but the skin is intact.Simple fracture : The fracture occurs along one line, splitting the bone into two pieces.Multi-fragmentary fracture : In this the bone splits into multiple pieces.Compression Fracture : A compression fracture is a closed fracture that occurs when two or more bones are forced against each other. It commonly occurs to the bones of the spine and may be caused by falling into a standing or sitting position, or a result of advanced osteoporosis.Avulsion Fracture : An avulsion fracture is a closed fracture where a piece of bone is broken off by a sudden, forceful contraction of a muscle. This type of fracture is common in athletes and can occur when muscles are not properly stretched before activity. This fracture can also because of an injury.Impacted Fracture : An impacted fracture is similar to a compression fracture, yet it occurs within the same bone. It is a closed fracture which occurs when pressure is applied to both ends of the bone, causing it to split into two fragments that jam into each other. This type of fracture is common in car accidents and falls.Stress Fracture : It is a common overuse injury. It is most often seen in athletes who run and jump on hard surfaces such as runners, ballet dancers and basketball players.Compression fracture of the spine : It is common in individuals with osteoporosis. Often no identifiable injury causes it. This results in significant pain and disability.Rib fractures : If you experience pain while breathing you probably have a rib fracture. In this condition you also have tenderness and shallow breathing.Complete Fracture : in this the bone fragments separate completely.Incomplete Fracture : in this the bone fragments are still partially joined.Linear Fracture : in this the fracture is parallel to the bone's long axis.Transverse Fracture : in this the fracture is at a right angle to the bone's long axis.Oblique Fracture : in this the fracture is diagonal to a bone's long axis.Spiral Fracture : in this at least one part of the bone has been twisted.Comminuted Fracture : in this the fracture results in several fragments.Compacted Fracture : in this the fracture is caused when bone fragments are driven into each other
If you have a stress fracture are you put into a cast?
Stress fracture in ArmA stress fracture within the arm will most likely result in a cast or a removable splint.Stress fracture in LegA stress fracture within the leg will usually result in a walking boot and crutches if it is extremely painful.
Which quantity in the equation E equals MC Square will most likely be the largest?
The quantity "E" (energy) will most likely be the largest in the equation E=mc^2 since the speed of light (c) is a very large constant value. This means that even a small amount of mass (m) will result in a large amount of energy.
What vertebra is least likely to cause a spinal cord injury if fracture?
L4
Are public libraries closed on Mother's Day?
It is very likely that public libraries are closed on Mother's Day because it is on a Sunday.
What age has the largest amount of thieves?
It is likely that the proportion remains fairly constant. Therefore there are more thieves now than at any other time.
What is the difference between a chip fracture of the foot and a hairline fracture?
I'm pretty sure if you have a chip fracture it means that a piece of the bone has been chipped off. A hairline fracture means the bone is broken. However the break is very minor and most likely isn't broken all the way through.
What type of fracture shatters the bone?
A fracture that shatters the bone is called a comminuted fracture. A direct impact can shatter bone into several fragments or pieces. This type of fracture is likely to occur in a road traffic accident.
What type of bone fracture results from a major blow?
A transverse fracture, where the bone breaks in a straight line perpendicular to its long axis, is likely to result from a major blow. This type of fracture is often seen in situations of high impact trauma.
