Pregunta 6
Pregunta
A teenage boy falls from his bicycle and is run over by a truck. On arrival in the emergency room, he is awake and alert and appears frightened but in no distress.

Respuesta
-
Placement of a left chest tube
-
Immediate thoracotomy
-
Immediate celiotomy
-
Esophagogastroscopy
-
Removal and replacement of the nasogastric tube; diagnostic peritoneal lavage

Respuesta
-
Take a chest x-ray
-
Draw arterial blood for blood gas determination
-
Decompress the right pleural space
-
Perform pericardiocentesis

Administer intravenous fluids
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
A 25-year-old woman arrives in the emergency room following an automobile accident. She is acutely dyspneic with a respiratory rate of 60 breaths/min. Breath sounds. are markedly diminished on the right side.
A chest x-ray of this woman before therapy would probably reveal
Respuesta
-
Air in the right pleural space
-
Shifting of the mediastinum toward the right
-
Shifting of the trachea toward the right
-
Dilation of the intrathoracic vena cava
-
Hyperinflation of the left lung
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
A 23-year-old previously healthy man presents to the emergency room after sustaining a single gunshot wound to the left chest. The entrance wound is 3 cm inferior to the nipple and the exit wound is just below the scapula. A chest tube is placed that drains 400 mL of blood and continues to drain 50-75 mtL/h during the initial resuscitation. Initial blood pressure of 70/0 mm Hg responds to 2 L crystalloid and is now 100/70 mm Hg. Abdominal examination is “unremarkable. Chest x-ray reveals a reexpanded lung and no free air under the diaphragm. The next management step should be
Respuesta
-
admission and observation
-
peritoneal lavage
-
exploratory thoracotomy
-
exploratory celiotomy
-
local wound exploration
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
Regarding myocardial contusion from blunt chest trauma, which of the following statements is correct?
Respuesta
-
Elevated cardiac isoenzyme levels sensitively identify patients at risk for life-threatening arrhythmias
-
The majority of patients have abnormalities on the initial ECG post injury
-
First-pass radionuclide angiography (RNA) and echocardiography are considered the “gold standard” for diagnosis
-
RNA and echocardiography are good predictors of subsequent Cardiac complications such as arrhythmias and pump failure
-
All patients diagnosed with myocardial contusion should be monitored in an intensive care unit setting for 72 h
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
Which of the following situations would be an indication for performance of a thoracotomy in the emergency room?
Respuesta
-
Massive hemotharax following blunt trauma to the chest
-
Blunt trauma ‘to multiple organ systems with obtainable vita! signs in the field but none on arrival in the emergency roam
-
Rapidly deteriorating patient with cardiac tamponade from penetrating thoracic trauma
-
Penetrating thoracic trauma and no signs of life in the field
-
Penetrating abdominal trauma and no signs of life in the field
