Hypoxia and Trauma

  1. Hypoxic Hypoxia
    "Not enough oxygen in the air"

    Deficiency in alveolar O2 exchange
  2. Histotoxic Hypoxia
    "Poisoning"

    Limits use of available oxygen due to a toxin. 

    (Cyanide, Alcohol, Nitroglycerin, Sodium Nitroprusside, Viagra)
  3. Stagnant Hypoxia
    "Blood isn't moving"

    • Reduced cardiac output or pooling of blood
    • (High G-forces *take off*, cardiogenic shock)
  4. Hypemic Hypoxia
    "Anemic"

    • Reduction in the O2 carrying capacity of blood
    • (Anemia, Hemorrhage, Carbon Monoxide)
  5. Indifferent Stage of Hypoxia
    Full reasoning abilities
  6. Compensatory Stage of Hypoxia
    Increased HR, ventilations, slowed judgement
  7. Disturbance Stage of Hypoxia
    Slurred Speech, Impaired Judgement, "Drunk"
  8. Critical Stage of Hypoxia
    No longer able to physiologically function - death imminent.
  9. Hypovolemic Shock
    Loss of intravascular fluid volume.

  16. Anterior Cord Syndrome
    Loss of motor function with preservation of position, vibration, and touch sense.

    Separating top and bottom half.
  17. Central Cord Injury
    Loss of function to upper half/ extremities

    Due to hyperextension in cervical area.
  18. Brown Sequard Lesion
    Penetrating trauma accompanied by motor loss and loss of sensation to either side of body.
  19. Spinal Shock
    Temporary local neurologic condition after spinal trauma
