Subjective Data: Unable to obtain due to comaObjective Data:• Vital signs: Temperature - 97.6°F, heart rate 105 beats per minute; systolic blood pressure 148 mm Hg; mean arterial pressure 80 mm Hg;oxygen saturation 98% on 40% oxygen; respiratory rate is 18 breaths per minute with a set ventilator rate of 12 breaths/minute.• Intracranial pressure is 18 mm Hg with a cerebral perfusion pressure of 70 mm Hg.• The intraventricular catheter is leveled at 10 mm Hg and is actively draining clear cerebral spinal fluid. A normal intracranial pressurewaveform is noted.• Medications: Normal Saline Solution at 75 mL/hour. Nicardipine IV infusion 5mg/hr. Propofol infusion has been off, and Fentanyl was given6hrs ago.• Laboratory findings: sodium 142 mEq/L, blood urea nitrogen 8 mg/dL, creatinine 0.7 mg/dL, glucose 105 mmol/L, white blood cell count11,000 cells/mL, hemoglobin 11 g/dL, platelets 205,000/µL, urinalysis and toxicology screen are both negative.Diagnostic Findings:• Immediate radiographic, diagnostic testing with a non-contrast CT scan of head.• MRI – few days after - showed severe diffuse axonal injury (DAI) A 65-year-old male was brought by the rescue squad to the emergency room after being found comatose on the floor of his garage at thebottom of a 15-ft ladder. He was intubated at the scene for airway protection and remains unresponsive. Past medical history is unknown as aneighbor found the patient; however, the neighbor notes alcohol intake of unknown frequency or quantity. Computed tomography scan (CTscan) imaging of his cervical spine was negative but brain imaging showed diffuse, traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage; small right-sidedepidural hematoma (EDH); and large left subdural hematoma (SDH) with subsequent tentorial herniation. The left-sided SDH was evacuated anda hemicraniectomy was performed to minimize the mass effect of the cerebral edema. The patient was admitted to the neurocritical care unit(NCCU) for proper management and treatment. Foley catheter in place with clear yellow urine. Urinary output is within normal range. Thepatient initially regained some movement in the left upper and the left lower extremities postoperatively. But noticed of an acute loss of his left-sided motor function, right eye deviation, and in coma.

A 65-year-old male was brought by the rescue squad to the emergency room after being found comatose on the floor of his garage at the bottom of a 15-ft ladder. He was intubated at the scene for airway protection and remains unresponsive. Past medical history is unknown as a neighbor found the patient; however, the neighbor notes alcohol intake of unknown frequency or quantity. Computed tomography scan (CT scan) imaging of his cervical spine was negative but brain imaging showed diffuse, traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage; small right-sided epidural hematoma (EDH); and large left subdural hematoma (SDH) with subsequent tentorial herniation. The left-sided SDH was evacuated and a hemicraniectomy was performed to minimize the mass effect of the cerebral edema. The patient was admitted to the neurocritical care unit (NCCU) for proper management and treatment. Foley catheter in place with clear yellow urine. Urinary output is within normal range.

The body of a 19-year-old male is found on the roadway, alongside a vehicle that hit a tree. Three of the four doors of the vehicle have popped open. 2 other bodies are also found at the scene. On examination at the Morgue, the decedent above referenced is found to have minor abrasions of his chin and right cheek, and his jaw appears slightly distorted. However, upon palpation of the mandible, it is found to be grossly unstable, with subsequent X-Ray demonstrating 19 distinct fractures of the jaw between the Right and Left Mandibular Rami. At autopsy, his trachea is found to be filled with vomitus. No other injuries are demonstrable, although there is some fluid residue found in the stomach, smelling of alcohol. a) Given these findings, what are the possible causes of death? Which do you believe to be the most likely cause of death? b) Is it obvious from the injury pattern where the decedent was sitting in the vehicle? If not obvious, where do you believe it likely the decedent was…
A 55-year-old female was transported to the floor after recovering from a surgical procedure. An epidural catheter with morphine was placed for post-operative pain control. Upon arrival, the patient complained of nausea and a headache prompting the on-call physician to prescribe, “Demerol 75mg every three hours for pain.” The preprinted medication orders from anesthesia stated “No narcotics, sedatives, or other respiratory depressants to be given during infusion of epidural medication and for 12 hours after epidural is discontinued except by order of anesthesia.” The nurse had not reviewed this order prior to obtaining and administering the new order for Demerol, a narcotic. Twenty minutes later, the patient was found unresponsive and aggressive resuscitation efforts were implemented, resulting in intubation and mechanical ventilation of the patient. When brain activity was not found, the family made the decision to take the patient off of life support and the patient died shortly…
A lethargic 22-month old black female was presented by her mother to the emergency room at 2:15am on a Sunday. The child had a history of a runny nose, hoarse cough and low-grade fever (-99F) for the past 48 hours. The mother was concerned about the forced and noisy breathing of the child. The pediatrician examined the child and found cloudy eyes and mild inflammation of the ears, but no overt signs of bacterial infection (no significant changes in the eardrums). The throat of the child was red and coated with mucus. The larynx was swollen and raw. The physician performed a rapid Strep test and found it was negative. Throat swabs were taken for culture. The physician placed the child in a room with a warm vaporizer for about 30 minutes. This dramatically improved the breathing of the child. 1. What is the infectious agent that caused this case? 2. Do you believe that this is a bacterial or viral disease? Why? 3. What further treatment is indicated for this case?
Dr. Falcone is an emergency department physician who has just called the OR desk concerning a patient. He tells the charge nurse, “we have a 23-year old male patient status post MVA, no airbag deploy, moderate facial injuries, bruising and swelling about the left eye, diplopia and enophthalmos. CT confirmes left orbital floor fracture. Hell be up in 10 minutes.” If the fracture isn’t stable after being reduced, what instrument tray should the CST have available?
