Person-centered care to analyze Thoracic trauma
1. Explain the common pathophysiology, as it relates to assessment data and pharmacology, that can result in deterioration of an individual’s condition in order to develop appropriate interventions.
The trauma in United states is one of the leading causes for increased number of deaths (25 % of the deaths) (Jones, 1980). The most common trauma reported was the blunt or thoracic trauma that is associated with the bone injuries especially chest injuries. Thoracic trauma is one of the reasons for causing the chest injuries that left un treated results in the death of the patient (Reid et.al., 2013). The etiology of the thoracic trauma is associated with the hemothorax, failed chest, pneumothorax and in some of the patients will have simultaneous hemothorax and the pneumothorax and the reason are the bone injuries (Pearson et.al., 2017). The bone injuries are mostly associated with either the ribs damage or the clavicle damage and in some cases the intra-abdominal injuries were observed. The symptoms observed in these patients are pain, breathing difficulties, hypoxemia, pneumonia etc (Wu et.al., 2015). The Diagnosis of the thoracic traumas due to bone injuries can be diagnosed by using the X-ray and other radiographic imaging like CT scan, aortic imaging and physical clinical observation of the patients.
Pathophysiology:
The pathophysiology of the thoracic trauma may result in the morbidity or mortality of the chest trauma that is because of direct damage to the lungs or because of altered respiration mechanism of breathing (Dogrul et.al., 2020). The bone injuries may cause the pulmonary contusion or tracheobronchial leading to the hemothorax, pneumothorax or failed chest. The circulation process will get impaired because of the internal bleeding, decreased venomous and direct cardiac arrest because of damages of the myocardium. The imagining studies will help to analyze the internal damages with the significant chest trauma, ultrasonography to analyze the heart, CT scan to check the damages of the Aortic injury etc (Whizar-Lugo et.al., 2015) The blunt thoracic trauma results in the damages to the chest (ribs fracture), pulmonary damages etc. sometime myocardial injuries were also reported and the effect of the damage may depend on how the injuries has happed i.e. by accident of falls from the heights etc. This is one of the emergency conditions which requires a in detailed examination to analyze the internal injuries of the patients as in some cases these are not noticeable.
Case-study analysis:
In the current case study, the Joanna Cleese a 55-year got admitted to the emergency department with a sudden fall from the 2-meter height. The injuries reported for her after the admission into the hospital after preforming the initial assessments of the X-ray analysis of the chest, abdomen, pelvis, left arm that fractures were reported in the ribs, femur, ulna. From the CT scan of the Head laceration was diagnosed. Bruising of the chest, temporal area, thigh and left arm were noted. As soon as the patient got admitted the Intravenous fluids were administered to make hydrate the patient. Meanwhile the patient previous medical history was examined indicating that the patient is diagnosed with the Hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes, and Obesity...
