    A post test document summarizes key information about trauma patients. Cardiac tamponade can resemble a tension pneumothorax. Upper thoracic spine fractures from hyperflexion are inherently unstable. Absent breath sounds and dullness over the left chest indicate a left hemothorax. A confused gunshot patient with weak pulse and cool skin requires emergency surgery to control internal bleeding and establish a diagnosis of shock requires evidence of inadequate organ perfusion.

    ATLS post test

    1. Cardiac tamponade after trauma


    a. Can be confused with a tension pneumothorax
    2. Thoracic spine injuries
    a. Hyperflexion fractures in the upper thoracic spine are inherently
    unstable
    3. Absence of breath sounds and dullness to percussion over the left hemithorax
    are findings best explained by
    a. Left hemothorax
    4. Gunshot wound to abdomen, cool and diaphoretic, confused. Pulse thread,
    femoral pulse weakly palpable. The definitive treatment in managing this
    patient is
    a. Control internal hemorrhage operatively
    5. To establish a diagnosis of shock
    a. Clinical evidence of inadequate organ perfusion must be present
    6.
