|X = a helpful description of drugs used and how to stabilise a patient with brain trauma.
}}
_
<FlashCard questions="2">
|q1= Match the following therapies for traumatic brain injury with the associated comment:
a) High-dose corticosteroids
b) Mannitol
c) Withholding fluids
d) Hypertonic saline
e) Hydroxyethyl starch
f) Furosemide
g) Supplemental oxygen
i) Osmotic diuretic that is an oxygen-radical scavenger
ii) A loop diuretic that may reduce the rebound increase in ICP that can follow mannitol administration
iii) May increase arterial oxygen content
iv) Will promote decreased blood flow and contribute to lowering cerebral perfusion pressure
v) Will promote intravascular volume replacement and MAP
vi) A hyperosmolar crystalloid that may reduce ICP and neutrophil adhesion
vii) Has no effect on improving outcome in traumatic brain injury, and is associated with
increased mortality
|a1= a, vii; b, i; c, iv; d, vi; e, v; f, ii; g, iii.
|l1= Replace text with name and subsection of relevant WikiVet page if in existence eg. Feather - Anatomy & Physiology#Structure & Function
|q2= List at least three strategies for improving outcome in traumatic brain injury.
|a2= Maintain SAP >90 mmHg, attempt to reduce intracranial pressure with osmotic diuretics; promote arterial oxygen content with supplemental oxygen (PaO2 >80 mmHg [SpO2 >94%]); avoid interventions and therapy that may contribute to regional brain ischemia (e.g. compressing both jugular veins) or excessive cerebral blood flow; maintain normal head position; elevate head, neck, and shoulders up to 20 degrees; maintain PCO2 between 35 and 45 mmHg; maintain blood glucose within normal range; early enteral nutrition; avoid hyperthermia; promptly control seizures or thrashing; rapidly correct systemic problems that affect BP and oxygenation.
|l2= Replace text with name and subsection of relevant WikiVet page if in existence eg. Feather - Anatomy & Physiology#Structure & Function
