 Facial, Head Injuries, Lacerations
brain herniation
- A brain herniation occurs when the brain pushes downward inside the skull. Part of the brain tissue is displaced down through the skull opening that leads into the neck.
bleeding
- Bleeding is any loss of blood from the body. Bleeding can occur either internally or externally. It can occur through a natural opening such as the vagina. Most bleeding occurs through a break in the skin.
chronic subdural hematoma
- A chronic subdural haematoma is a buildup of blood between the membrane covering the brain, known as the dura, and the brain itself. This condition occurs as a result of a head injury and develops slowly over time. The trauma does not have to be significant to produce this condition.
concussion
- A concussion is the most common form of head injury. Most concussions are caused by a blow to the head or sudden, uncontrolled, rapid movement of the head. A concussion may cause temporary symptoms but not permanent brain damage.
corneal injury
- The cornea (corn-ee-ah) is the clear window on the front of the eye that covers the coloured iris and pupil. Injury to the cornea causes hazy vision and scarring. It can also cause a loss of vision.
dental injuries
- Dental accidents can happen to anyone at anytime. In an active world where many individuals enjoy sports activities, there is a risk of damaging the teeth.
choking in the conscious adult
- Choking in a conscious adult may occur when the upper airway, usually the throat or wind pipe, is blocked by an object or irritation.
eye emergencies
- Eye emergencies can be divided into 3 levels:
foreign object in the eye
- Sometimes small objects get under the eyelid but do not penetrate the eyeball itself. These can cause irritation and discomfort in the eye and must be removed.
head injury
- A head injury is defined as any trauma to the head that may or may not permanently injure the brain.
intracerebral haemorrhage
- Intracerebral haemorrhage is a term for bleeding into the brain.
facial pain
increased intracranial pressure
human bites
- A human bite is a wound or tissue injury that results from one human biting another.
nose fracture
- A nose fracture is a break in the nasal bone. Though most of the nose is made of cartilage, a soft spongy material, the upper portion of the nose has a bone underneath it called the nasal bone. A nose fracture usually occurs after an injury to the face.
sutures
facial swelling
loss of consciousness
- Consciousness is the state of being aware of or responsive to the environment. A person who is conscious can perceive, both physically and mentally, what is happening. For many reasons, a person can sometimes lose consciousness, or become unconscious.
wounds
- A wound is any injury resulting in the breaking of the skin. Wounds can be punctures, crush wounds or abrasions or cuts. Wounds can also be caused by burns or cold.
