What may form after thawing of frostbite?
A patient comes in and you suspect frostbite. On physical exam, you see no cyanosis. What grade of frostbite do you think they have?
A patient comes in and you suspect frostbite. On physical exam, you see cyanosis on the distal phalanx. To treat, you do soft tissue amputation and finger/toenail sequelae. What grade of frostbite do you think they have?
A patient comes in and you suspect frostbite. On physical exam, you see cyanosis of the intermediate and proximal phalanges. To treat, you suspect you need to do bone amputation of the digit and functional sequelae What grade of frostbite do you think they have?
A patient comes in and you suspect frostbite. On physical exam, you see cyanosis of the carpal/tarsal bones. To treat, you predict bone amputation of the limb with functional sequelae. What grade of frostbite do you think they have?
A patient comes in with a wrinkly foot. They have been in the cold, but not freezing temperatures. You warn the patient that this can result in gangrene. On further investigation, you find the patient has impaired control of circulation. What condition do they have?
A patient comes in with core body temperature of 38 degrees C. They have headache, dizziness, muscle cramps, nausea, pale skin, and a weak pulse. What condition do they most likely have?
A patient comes in with core body temperature of 42 degrees C. They are confused, in and out of consciousness, vomiting, seizing, warm skin, fast and strong pulse, and have a rapid HR. What condition do they most likely have?
