A cavity formed by pressure wave resulting from the kinetic energy of a bullet traveling through the body tissue; all so called: pathway expansion
|
Cavitation
|
|
The way energy is transferred to the human body the forces acting upon it.
|
Dissipation of energy
|
|
The factors that slow a projectile

The Factors and forces that cause traumatic injury
|
Mechanism of injury(MOI)
|
|
The size and shape of a Bullet's point of impact; the greater the point of impactthe greater the injury.
|
Profile
|
|
The path of a projsctile during its travel; a trajectory may be flat or curved
|
Trajectory
|
|
The insufficient suppy of oxygen and other nutrients to some of the body's cells that result from inadequate circlation of the blood.
|
Shock(hypoperfuion)
|
|
A standard parameter for emergency care because studies have shown that severly injured patients has the best chance for survival if surgical interventon tskes place within 1 hour from time of injury.
|
The Golden Hour
|
|
The maximum time the EMS team should devote to on-scene activity
|
Platinum 10 Minutes
|
|
The pressure wave of the blast
|
Primary Phase(Pressure wave)
|
|
Flying debris propelled by the force of the blast, or blast wind.
|
Seconary Phase(Blast wave)
|
|
The patient is thrown away from the source of the blast.
|
Tertiary Phase(Victim Diplacement)
