Patient brought in with 2 deep puncture wounds
direct upstream causes
possible stabbing or freak accident results in 2 puncture wounds
Downstream Effects
Puncture wound anterior and inferior to the right axillary region
Probably in the right rib cage above the right hypochondriac region
Penetrated membranes
Parietal Pleura
Visceral Pleura
Cavities and Organs
Thoracic
Lungs
Respiratory system
Could have fluid leaking into lung affecting oxygen intake which will lower the bodys oxygen concentration
lung could also collapse which will have a similar effect
will cause hypoxemia which leads to hypoxia
Homeostasis effected
puncture wound epigastric region
upper central region of the abdomen
Penetrated membranes
Visceral peritonuem
Parietal peritonuem
Cavities and Organs
Abdominal Cavity
Digestive System
Stomach
Could have acid or food leak out causing infection and irritation and inflammation to the peritonuem
sepsis will occur
Liver
blood loss is the main issue if the hepatic portal vein is hit
also could leak bile which would lead to infection
if blood supply is cut off to the liver the organ might fail
Pancreas
Fluid leaking into cavity
Biggest problem would be blood loss
2 magor blood vessels runon top and next to the pancreas
Homeostasis effected
Lymphatic system
Spleen
if the spleen was hit it can cause life threatening internal bleeding
Homeostasis effected
Endocrine system
Adrenal glands
Would need to stop hemorrhaging
Homeostasis effected
Background
anterior and inferior to right axillary region
in front and below armpit
could be right above the right hypochondriac
costal region
Throracic cavity
Pleural Cavity
Membranes
Visceral Pleura
Parietal Pleura
Organs and systems
Respiratory
Lungs
Homeostasis
Oxygen is inhaled into lungs
Oxygen diffuses from aveoli to blood
carbon dioxide diffused out and exhaled
Oxygen carried around the body to preform cellular respiration
carbon dioxide produced as a bi-product and is carried back to the lungs
energy pathways
oxygen is needed to preform cellular respiration
Epigastric region
upper central region of the abdomen
abdominal cavity
Membranes
Parietal peritonuem
Visceral peritonuem
Organs and systems in Epigastric region
Digestive
most of the stomach
part of the liver
part of the duodenem
part of the pancreas
Homeostatic set point
breaks down food into nutrients absorbed into small intestine
pancreas produces digestive enzymes to break food down
liver produces bile
nutrients absorbed by the villi of the small intestine
then nutrients go into the blood
Metabolic pathway
liver would not be able to produce bile
liver would not be able to regulate glucose in the body
Energy pathway
stomach would no longer be able to digest food
decreasing energy
Endocrine
part of the pancreas
Adrenal glands
Homeostatic set point
produce hormones thats can stimulates a target organ or cell
coordinate the activities of body parts
hormones are the chemical messengers
stimulate the particular organ or cells that have receptors for that hormone
Metabolic pathway
pancreas will not be able to produce insulin and glucagon
bood sugar woul be out of wack
Lymphatic
Part of the spleen
Homeostatic set point
Returns excess tissue fluid to systematic veins via lymphatic vessels
lymph nodes purify lymph
lymph nodes are rich in lymphocytes a type of blood cell that responds to antigens
allows immunity to develop
Metabolic pathway
spleen is a major organ in immune response fighting infections
may be more prone to infections if the puncture penetrated there
