Questions in this quiz (15)
1A 22 year-old man is brought to the emergency department after falling from a 10-foot ladder, landing on his left side. He has multiple left-sided rib fractures and a pneumothorax requiring a chest tube. Physical examination of the abdomen is unremarkable. He remains hemodynamically stable throughout the primary and secondary surveys and undergoes contrast-enhanced CT scanning of the abdomen and pelvis. CT scan reveals a grade II laceration of the spleen, with no evidence of active contrast extravasation. The next appropriate step in management is
- Aexploratory laparotomy with splenectomy
- Bexploratory laparotomy with splenorrhaphy
- Csplenic angioembolization
- Dvideo-assisted thoracoscopy with evacuation of hemothorax
- Eobservation with serial abdominal examinations
2What is a surgeon's greatest concern for patients who undergo nonoperative management of splenic injuries?
- Ahypovolemic shock
- Bspontaneous rupture
- Cpostsplenectomy sepsis
- Ddelayed rupture of the spleen
- Enone of the above
3Although, there are still different opinions on this matter, many agree that nonoperative management of splenic injuries should be reserved for
- Agrade I injuries according to the AAST Spleen Injury Scale
- Bgrade II injuries according to the AAST Spleen Injury Scale
- Cgrade I, II and III injuries according to the AAST Spleen Injury Scale
- Dgrade IV injuries according to the AAST Spleen Injury Scale
- Egrade V injuries according to the AAST Spleen Injury Scale
4Which of these organs is the most commonly injured abdominal organ?
- Aliver
- Bspleen
- Clungs
- Dstomach
- Epancreas
5Hematoma in the spleen- subcapsular, 10% to 50% surface area; intraparenchymal, <1 5 cm in diameter corresponds to which injury grade according to the AAST Spleen Injury Scale?
- Agrade I
- Bgrade II
- Cgrade III
- Dgrade IV
- Egrade V
6Which imaging test do we use first in ar unstable trauma patient with suspected abdornina trauma?
- APlain radiograph of the abdomen
- BFocused abdominal sonography in trauma (FAST)
- CDiagnostic peritoneal lavage
- DAbdominal CT scan
- EMRI of the abdomen
7Which is the primary method of imaging of the stable blunt trauma patient and has supported the evolution of the nonoperative management of many solid abdominal organ injuries?
- APlain radiograph of the abdomen
- BFocused abdominal sonography in trauma (FAST)
- CAbdominal CT with IV administration of a contrast agent
- DDiagnostic peritoneal lavage
- EMRI of the abdomen
8What complications of nonoperative management of liver traumas can we expect after the initial success?
- Abile leaks
- Bbiloma formation
- Chemobilia
- Dliver abscesses
- Eall of the above
9Hematoma of the liver - subcapsular, > 50% surface area of ruptured, subcapsular or parenchymal hematoma; intraparenchymal hematoma > 10 cm or expanding corresponds to which injury grade according to the AAST Liver Injury Scale?
- Agrade I
- Bgrade II
- Cgrade III
- Dgrade IV
- Egrade V
10Gastric injuries will often be identified on physical examination by
- Athe presence of peritonitis
- Bthe evidence of shock
- Cjaundice and biliary colic
- Dhypovolemia
- Eall of the above
11What is the treatment for small hematomas of the duodenal wall?
- Aduodenal transection with primary anastomosis
- Bgastric decompression and initiation of total parenteral nutrition
- Cprimary repair using a single- or double-layer approach
- Dmobilization of the duodenum with a wide Kocher maneuver
- Etypically they require no treatment
12The pancreas is well protected because of its retroperitoneal location. What is the commonly identified mechanism of most pancreatic injuries?
- Adirect compression of the organ in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen
- Bpenetrating wound to the right thoracoabdominal! area
- Cshearing forces, which tear pancreatic tissue
- Dacute increase in intraluminal pressure from external forces
- Ecrushing of the body between a rigid structure and the vertebral column
13Which of these organs is one of the most frequently injured organs after penetrating abdominal trauma?
- Aspleen
- Bpancreas
- Csmall intestine
- Dliver
- Egallbladder
14Diffuse liver bleeding due to coagulopathy will not respond to repeated attempts at placement of suture. How do we proceed in this situation?
- Awe apply perihepatic packing and manual compression
- Bwe apply the Pringle maneuver
- Cwe apply a vascularized pedicle of omentum within the liver injury
- Dwe apply perihepatic packing and reversal of physiologic derangements in the ICU
- Enone of the above
