Summer Vinson Anatomy and Physiology CRN: 12202 November 9, 2021 Ice Hockey Injury Case Part 4 1. Yes, they do. 2. Because he has lost a good bit of blood. 3. There is no way that he lost that much blood from his cut in his mouth. I believe there is some internal bleeding going on. This can be passed in his urine, vomit, and/or stool. 4. I do not wish to modify my list of diagnoses. Part 5 1. There appears to be some spotting in his….. v stomach, and his spleen and liver look to be enlarged. 2. There appears to be a smaller lung on one side, with darkness instead of a full air-filled lung. I believe this lung has collapsed. 3. No, I do not wish to modify my list of diagnoses 4. It is consistent with my diagnosis Part 6 1. Rick’s x-ray indicates a collapsed lung. One side is super fuzzy and not as clear as the normal x-ray. The darker area is still so much smaller than it should be, which is an indication that air is not filling that lung as it should be. 2. I do not wish to modify my list of diagnoses. 3. It is consistent with my diagnosis. Part 7 1. When he was hit, it seemed to have caused blunt force trauma to his chest, which in turn collapsed his lung, filling his pleural cavity with blood. 2. Re-inflating the lung, and getting the internal bleeding to shock. He may go into shock, and also the worry of pneumothorax setting in. 3. Short term would be to administer oxygen, iv fluids, and antibiotics, re-inflate lung, and insert a chest tube. Long term would be to limit physical activity and lifting, rest and plenty of fluids to allow for recovery, and follow up appointments,

as well as more scans after recovery to ensure that healing was adequate and complete. 4. Rick was experiencing loss of fluids and dehydration. His body was trying to compensate and replenish fluids for his low blood volume. Rick’s body triggered his brain to tell his body he was thirsty in order to replenish all of his fluids/blood lost. 5. Short term would be administering a blood transfusion, long term would be admission to the hospital and providing him with plenty of fluids to replenish rehydration, iv fluids, and a well-rounded diet to ensure that his body is replenishing the nutrients lost, as well as iron supplements until Rick has fully recovered. Follow up appointments and testing of his blood levels regularly.
