Why are extremity wounds above the elbow or knee more concerning?

More likely to involve significant vascular injury and hemorrhage

What is the target time for primary and secondary stabilization, packaging, and transport initiation?

Under 10 minutes

What is a key feature of a Level I trauma center?

Is a regional center prepared to handle all specialty trauma 24/7

Which of the following is essential for proper hospital care of serious trauma patients?

Immediate availability of skilled surgical intervention

In the up-and-over pathway of frontal impacts, which injury is most likely?

Facial fractures and cervical spine injury

A Level III trauma center is typically:

A community hospital with staff training and resources for trauma

Why do solid organs experience greater damage from cavitation?

They are dense but not resilient and transmit pressure well

What formula defines kinetic energy?

KE = (mass × velocity²) ÷ 2

What causes compartment syndrome to develop?

Muscle swelling within fascial compartments that cannot expand

What was the significance of the Trauma Care Systems Planning and Development Act of 1990?

It provided funding, guidelines, and state leadership for trauma systems

Under what circumstance should EMS consider removing an impaled object?

If it's interfering with airway management or CPR

What led to the development of today’s trauma care system?

Investigation of death toll on U.S. highways

Which of the following is a common cause of blunt trauma?

Falls, motor vehicle collisions, or sports injuries

Why is field recognition of compartment syndrome difficult?

Signs often develop gradually and may not be evident prehospital

Which formula correctly represents kinetic energy?

[Mass × velocity²] ÷ 2

What is the purpose of a trauma registry?

Collect standardized data for system analysis and improvement

Which tissue type generally limits cavitational damage due to its elasticity and density?

Connective tissue (muscle, tendons, ligaments, skin)

What is a pressure wave in the context of penetrating trauma?

Outward and forward movement of tissue caused by high-speed projectile impact

Which of the following injuries are considered pressure wave-related?

Ear drum rupture, bowel injury, lung damage

What are the components considered in the trauma triage criteria?

MOI, age, vital signs, anatomy of injury, GCS

Which of the following is an example of a trauma intervention?

Safer vehicle design, Gun safety education, Improved EMS response

Which of the following best describes quarternary blast injuries?

Any other injuries like burns, toxic exposures, or worsening of chronic illness

Why are neck wounds particularly dangerous?

Small space contains airway, spinal cord, vessels—risking airway compromise, bleeding, and air embolism

If intubation is impossible due to facial trauma and airway compromise, what procedure may be indicated?

Percutaneous cricothyrotomy

What is the primary role of a Level IV trauma center?

Stabilize patients before transport to a higher-level center

What is a teachable moment in trauma care?

When a near-harm event is used to encourage safer behavior

In the down-and-under pathway, what injuries may occur?

Knee, femur, hip dislocations; chest and vascular injuries

Why do some bullets tumble or yaw inside soft tissue?

Their center of mass is farther from the leading edge, especially in rifle rounds

When assessing gunshot wounds in the field, EMS should:

Describe wounds by appearance and location, avoiding labels like entrance/exit

Which type of impact happens when the occupant is struck by loose items within the vehicle?

Secondary collision

For a patient suspended for more than 30 minutes, EMS should consider:

Placing the patient in a seated position with upper body support to slow toxin return

: What did studies in the 1960s reveal about crash victims?

They experienced injuries and lacked access to organized, definitive care

What best describes a Level II trauma center?

Has high commitment to trauma care but may transfer most serious cases

What defines a secondary impact in penetrating trauma?

Bullet striking another object (e.g., glass, clothing) before or during impact with the body

What is the best way to reduce trauma overall?

Prevention

In blunt trauma, which type of organ is at greater risk of injury?

Solid organs

How does body armor reduce penetrating trauma?

It spreads bullet energy across a large area, reducing penetration but possibly causing blunt trauma

What does true QI avoid doing?

Blaming individual providers

How many levels of trauma centers are recognized in the current trauma system model?

4

How much blood volume can pool in the legs during prolonged suspension?

Approximately 20%

What is resiliency in the context of tissue damage?

Tissue’s connective strength and elasticity influencing damage severity

Which best describes the primary objective of a Quality Improvement (QI) program within a trauma care system?

Enhancing patient outcomes by continuously evaluating system-wide clinical performance

Which national organization has identified key MOIs predictive of trauma center need?

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

What is the goal of the Golden Period in trauma care?

One-hour window from incident to surgery

A shear injury most often affects:

Organs and tissues at attachment points

What is the most common type of vehicle impact?

Frontal

Why do shotgun wadding materials increase risk of infection?

They may penetrate the wound and introduce contaminants

What causes tissue damage in blunt trauma?

Energy forces transferred without penetration

A bullet’s profile refers to:

The diameter of the bullet (caliber) facing the target

Which of the following best describes the zone of injury?

Tissue around the wound that is crushed, torn, and susceptible to infection and slow healing

What is the goal of Quality Improvement (QI) in trauma systems?

Improving patient care by studying system performance
