Data Trace Editor – Discussion: – children have relatively fewer intracranial-mass lesions but relatively more intracranial hypertension than adults; – tendency to have diffuse brain swelling puts children at increased risk of secondary brain injury; – all children with Glasgow coma scores less/= 12 require special monitoring of their neurologic status; … Read more
– Discussion: – every effort should be made to maintain sinus rhythm, the sinus mechanism being responsible for approx 25% of cardiac f(x); – this is effected predominately thru synchronized end dialstolic Preload augmentation
– Discussion: – heat exhaustion: – dizzniness, fatigue, nause vomiting and mild temp elevation – heat stroke – core temp greater than 104 with mental status changes – brain loses ability to regulate heat (cooling system fails) – organ failure – strikes suddenly with little warning … Read more

– See: – Radiographic Features of Talocalcaneal Coalition – Discussion: – demonstrates the body of the calcaneus, middle facet of the sub-talar Joint and the sustenaculum tali; – Talocalcaneal Coalition: – x-ray appearance of two facets either in same plane or at an angle greater than 20 deg to each other suggests coalition; – … Read more
– Discussion: – haversian systems are of two types, primary and secondary; – primary systems are formed on the growing surface of bone; periosteal vessels running in long axis of bone become surrounded by bone, first in a trough, then completely buried in canal; – this canal is at first … Read more
– Type I Talar Fractures: – non displaced fractures of the talar neck without dislocation – AVN: 10% – important challenge w/ this injury is ensuring that anatomic reduction is obtained with no varus rotation; – treated closed, usually w/ short leg cast w/ foot in slight … Read more
– Discussion: – sign provides evidence of revascularization of talar body; – indicated by patchy subchondral osteoporosis at approx 6-8 weeks; – appearance of decreased subchondral bone density (subchondral resporption) in the dome of talus 6 to 8 wks following injury indicates that there is sufficient vascular supply to bone to … Read more
– Discussion: – type I fractures represent non displaced fractures; – fracture line entering the subtalar joint between the middle and posterior facets; – only those frxs in which there is no displacement of frx line and no incongruity of subtalar joint are designated as type I frx; – … Read more
– See: – Axis: – Hyperextension Injury – Discussion: – frx of pars interarticularis of C2 & disruption of C2-C3 junction – type of traumatic spondylolisthesis – “Hangman’s frx” – term “hangman’s fracture” is not accurate for the majority of cases, because mechanism … Read more
