Chapter 22, Problem 5CCS
35-Year-Old Female with Chest Trauma
Barbara Joley was in a major car accident. When EMS managed to free her from the wreckage, she was cyanotic and apneic (not breathing). Her heart was still beating, but her pulse was fast and thready. The emergency medical technician reported that when Barbara was found, her head was cocked at a peculiar angle and it looked like she had a fracture at the level of the C2 vertebra. The following questions refer to these observations.

He attempted to run across a busy street but was struck by a car. He was fully conscious at the scene, complaining of pain in his abdomen and left leg. Examination by paramedics revealed an open fracture of the left tibia with moderate bleeding, left upper quadrant pain with rebound tenderness, and a fast, weak pulse. The leg was immobilized, oxygen was administered, an IV started, and he was transported to the Trauma Center, approximately 10 minutes away. About 3 minutes before arriving at the Trauma Center, he suffered cardiopulmonary arrest from which he could not be resuscitated, despite vigorous advanced life support. At autopsy, his stomach was found to be full of beer, along with 4 whole wieners (without any teeth marks!).

No neck stiffness, Kernig's sign (-), Brudzinski's sign (-), Babinski's sign (-). All joints had no swollen and tenderness. The outpatient physician then ordered blood routine and peripheral blood smear tests. To find out the reasons for the elbows pain, bilateral tibia, ulnar, femur and fibula films were taken. Blood routine test: WBC=7.2 x 109/L, RBC=3.1 x 109/L, BPC=64 x 109/L, Hb=90g/L, atypical cells 7%. Peripheral blood smear test: blast=18%, L=48%, N=31%. Bilateral tibia, ulnar, femur and fibula films: no obvious bone tissue damage in the bilateral ulnar, fibula, lower section of the tibia and the distal part of the femur. The outpatient physician suggested the parents to sign the consent form of bone marrow aspiration immediately and wished to proceed with the procedure as soon as possible to analyse the immune markers. The physician also informed the parents that, if necessary, Lin may need to have a bone marrow…arrow_forward
