List the steps in the emergency medical care of the patient with injuries of the nose and ear. List the steps in the emergency medical care of the patient with a penetrating injury to the neck. Objectives (1 of 2)

Chapter 21: Face and Throat Injuries 3 List the steps in the emergency medical care of the patient with dental injuries. Demonstrate the care of a patient with soft-tissue wounds of the face and neck. Demonstrate the care of a patient with injuries of the nose and ear. Demonstrate the care of a patient with a penetrating injury to the neck. Objectives (2 of 2)

Chapter 21: Face and Throat Injuries 4 Anatomy of the Head

Chapter 21: Face and Throat Injuries 5 Landmarks of the Neck

Chapter 21: Face and Throat Injuries 6 Injuries to the Face Injuries about the face can lead to upper airway obstructions. Bleeding from the face can be profuse. Loosened teeth may lodge in the throat. If the great vessels are injured, significant bleeding and pressure on the airway may occur.

Chapter 21: Face and Throat Injuries 7 Soft-Tissue Injuries Soft-tissue injuries to the face and scalp are common. Wounds to the face and scalp bleed profusely. A blunt injury may lead to a hematoma. Sometimes a flap of skin is peeled back from the underlying muscle.

Chapter 21: Face and Throat Injuries 8 Care of Soft-Tissue Injuries (1 of 3) Assess the ABCs and care for life- threatening injuries. Follow proper BSI precautions. Blood draining into the throat can lead to vomiting. Monitor airway constantly. Take appropriate precautions if you suspect a neck injury.

Chapter 21: Face and Throat Injuries 9 Care of Soft-Tissue Injuries (2 of 3) Cover exposed internal structures with sterile moist dressings. Return avulsed tissue, rinsed in saline, to it’s normal position

Chapter 21: Face and Throat Injuries 10 Care of Soft-Tissue Injuries (3 of 3) Injuries around the mouth may obstruct the airway. Collect and return any amputated parts with the patient.

Chapter 21: Face and Throat Injuries 11 Injuries of the Nose Blunt trauma to the nose can result in fractures and soft-tissue injuries. Cerebrospinal fluid coming from the nose is indicative of a basal skull fracture. Bleeding from soft-tissue injuries of the nose can be controlled with a dressing.

Chapter 21: Face and Throat Injuries 12 Injuries of the Ear Ear injuries do not usually bleed much. Place a dressing between the ear and scalp when bandaging the ear. For an avulsed ear, wrap the part in a moist, sterile dressing. If a foreign body is lodged in the ear, do not try to manipulate it.

Chapter 21: Face and Throat Injuries 13 Facial Fractures A direct blow to the mouth or nose can result in a facial fracture. Severe bleeding in the mouth, loose teeth, or movable bone fragments indicate a fracture. Fractures around the face and mouth can produce deformities. Severe swelling may obstruct the airway.

Chapter 21: Face and Throat Injuries 14 Blunt Injuries of the Neck A crushing injury of the neck may involve the larynx or trachea. A fracture to these structures can lead to subcutaneous emphysema. Be aware of complete airway obstruction and the need for rapid transport to the hospital.

Chapter 21: Face and Throat Injuries 15 The Skin

Chapter 21: Face and Throat Injuries 16 Penetrating Injuries of the Neck They can cause severe bleeding. The airway, esophagus, and spinal cord can be damaged from penetrating injuries. Direct pressure should control most bleeding. Place an occlusive dressing on a neck wound. Arrange for prompt transport and treat for shock.
