Concept explainers
Marvin was driving too fast on a remote mountain road at 3 a.m. when his car left the road and rolled down a steep hill. Marvin sustained numerous cuts and bruises. When medical help arrived 2 hours later, his systolic blood pressure was 70 mm Hg. and his pulse was weak (thready). Intravenous saline was administered immediately, and plasma and then whole blood were administered in the emergency room. After another hour, Marvin's blood pressure had returned to normal and he no longer appeared pale. While he was in the hospital, Marvin's urine volume decreased to less than 30 mL/h (< 400 mL/day). A blood sampleindicated elevated levels of urea, creatinine. and uric acid. He also exhibited hyperkalemia and some cardiac arrhythmia, and hisarterial pH was < 7.35 (below normal). Over the next few days, his red blood cell count decreased and he bruised easily. His jugular veins were distended, and there was some peripheral and pulmonary edema. Form the following list, select the conditions that applied to Marvin at this time.
(1) hypoxic injury to the kidney
(2) increased reabsorption of wastes
(3) decreased
(4) decreased
(5) increased
(6) decreased erythropoietin secretion

- Lower-than-normal blood pressure is called _______________________.arrow_forwardJohn, age 24, is involved in an automobile accident. Ken, a paramedic, arrives on the scene and does emergency first aid. John has multiple lacerations on his hands and arms; the laceration on his right arm is bleeding profusely. Ken applies a pressure bandage and notes that John’s blood pressure is 90/60. Ken starts an intravenous line and transports John to the hospital. The emergency department physician examines John and notes he also has contusions near his liver. The physician has the medical technologist draw blood for a CBC and to type and crossmatch the blood. Name the blood components and their function.arrow_forwardJohn, age 24, is involved in an automobile accident. Ken, a paramedic, arrives on the scene and does emergency first aid.

- 25 year old male motorcyclist was brought into the emergency department following an accident. The patient vital signs were blood pressure 82/40 , heart rate 130, minimal urinary output. Why did his blood pressure dropped , pulse increased and how his body systems will respond to bring the blood pressure back to normal .arrow_forwardThe physician ordered 1,200 Units of heparin every hour IV continuously.
