TBI effects are related to location. Match the lobe/area to the effects.
[blank_start]Frontal[blank_end] - Lack of focus, irritability, language difficulty
[blank_start]Parietal[blank_end] - Difficulty reading, spatial misperception
[blank_start]Occipital[blank_end] - Blind spots, blurred vision
[blank_start]Temporal[blank_end] - Short and long term memory issues
[blank_start]Cerebellum[blank_end] - Diffculty walking, slurred speech
[blank_start]Brainstem[blank_end] - changes in breath, difficulty swallowing
Answer
Frontal
Parietal
Occipital
Temporal
Cerebellum
Brainstem
Question 5

Answer
True
False
Question 6
Question
Treatment principles
• Decrease morbidity/mortality
• Establish airway, maintain [blank_start]ventilation[blank_end]/circulation during resuscitation
• Maintain balance between [blank_start]oxygen[blank_end] delivery and consumption
Answer
ventilation
oxygen
Question 7
Question
Reducing intra cranial pressure (ICP):
1. [blank_start]Osmotic[blank_end] agents (e.g. mannitol)
• Plasma [blank_start]expanding[blank_end] effects
• Osmotic concentration [blank_start]gradient[blank_end] across BBB
• Side effects: [blank_start]hypotension[blank_end] (diuresis), renal dysfunction
2. High dose [blank_start]barbiturates[blank_end] (medically induced coma)
• Decrease regional cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen ([blank_start]CMRO2[blank_end])
• Decrease lipid [blank_start]peroxidation[blank_end]
• Alter blood vessel [blank_start]tone[blank_end]
• Side effects: CV: hypotension due to [blank_start]peripheral[blank_end] vasodilation
