Chapter 11, Problem 9CR
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason as to why subdural hematoma is more dangerous than a hematoma in the muscle.
Introduction:
A hematoma is a localized collection of blood outside the blood vessel, due to damage of the vein caused by an injury. A subdural hematoma is the accumulation of blood between the duramater and the arachnoid mater, due to rupture of the bridging vein. This rupture can be due to a head injury. A muscle hematoma or bruises is a localized collection of blood in the muscle tissue.

Our discussion this week pertains to Spinal Cord Injuries. Primary spinal cord injury involves damage to vertebral or neural tissues from compression, traction, or shearing forces. Secondary spinal cord injury is related to ischemia, excitotoxicity, inflammation, edema, oxidative damage, and activation of necrotic and apoptotic cell death; it begins within minutes after injury and continues for weeks. Assignment Instructions: Describe an injury. Some learners will use the same injury, such as a fall off of a horse. Describe how the patient experienced both primary and secondary injuries.
