    1. AStrokes and aneurysms
    2. BInfections (e.g. Meningitis)

    4. DBrain tumours
    5. ENeurotoxics (drugs, alcohol, pesticides, gases, solvents)
    6. FThese are all causes of TBI
  4. 4TBI effects are related to location. Match the lobe/area to the effects.
    [blank_start]Frontal[blank_end] - Lack of focus, irritability, language difficulty
    [blank_start]Parietal[blank_end] - Difficulty reading, spatial misperception
    [blank_start]Occipital[blank_end] - Blind spots, blurred vision
    [blank_start]Temporal[blank_end] - Short and long term memory issues
    [blank_start]Cerebellum[blank_end] - Diffculty walking, slurred speech
    [blank_start]Brainstem[blank_end] - changes in breath, difficulty swallowing
    1. AFrontal
    2. BParietal
    3. COccipital
    4. DTemporal
    5. ECerebellum
    6. FBrainstem
  5. 5Primary Injury is due to a biochemical injury while secondary injury is due to mechanical injury.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  6. 6Treatment principles
    • Decrease morbidity/mortality
    • Establish airway, maintain [blank_start]ventilation[blank_end]/circulation during resuscitation
    • Maintain balance between [blank_start]oxygen[blank_end] delivery and consumption
    1. Aventilation
    2. Boxygen
  7. 7Reducing intra cranial pressure (ICP):

    1. [blank_start]Osmotic[blank_end] agents (e.g. mannitol)
    • Plasma [blank_start]expanding[blank_end] effects
    • Osmotic concentration [blank_start]gradient[blank_end] across BBB
    • Side effects: [blank_start]hypotension[blank_end] (diuresis), renal dysfunction

    2. High dose [blank_start]barbiturates[blank_end] (medically induced coma)
    • Decrease regional cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen ([blank_start]CMRO2[blank_end])
    • Decrease lipid [blank_start]peroxidation[blank_end]
    • Alter blood vessel [blank_start]tone[blank_end]
    • Side effects: CV: hypotension due to [blank_start]peripheral[blank_end] vasodilation
    1. AOsmotic
    2. Bexpanding
    3. Cgradient
    4. Dhypotension
    5. Ebarbiturates
