Kinematics of TraumaCHAPTER 4 Define energy in the context of production of injury. Describe the association between the laws of motion, energy, and the Kinematics of Trauma . Describe the relationship of injury and energy exchange to speed. Discuss energy exchange and the production of cavitation. Given the description of a motor vehicle crash, use Kinematics to predict the likely injury pattern for an unrestrained occupant. Associate the principles of energy exchange with the pathophysiology of injury to the head, spine, thorax, abdomen, and extremities resulting from that exchange. Describe the specific injuries and their causes as related to interior and exterior vehicle damage. Describe the function of restraint systems for vehicle occupants. Relate the laws of motion and energy to mechanisms other than motor vehicle crashes ( blasts, falls). Describe the five phases of blast injury and the injuries produced in each phase.
44 PREHOSPITAL TRAUMA LIFE SUPPORT You and your partner are dispatched to a two-car collision. The day is warm and sunny. The scene is secured by law enforcement when you arrive.
