Trauma

Day after day, the body is always threatened by violence. Tigers, snakes, motor vehicles, bomb ... ... and the bacteria or viruses. Defense against this threat is different between people who with one other person. After the fall, there are people who will broken bones while others do not. there are people who will become ill after get typhoid bacillus infection, while others only a mild illness. Not only just a different defense on that one person with another person, sometimes materials used to build our bodies were often different, such as bone disease osteoporosis. Lightly collisions cause fractures in this disease. Violence is harmful to the body trauma (Latin: pain).



Trauma may include:
• mechanical
• hot
• chemicals
• electricity
• Radiation
• biology
• emotion.
 
Mechanical Trauma
Is typical of bone fracture. if a person defend himself against a blow to the ulnar os may be broken radius bone may be broken if someone who fell sustaining himself with one hand.
The signs of fracture are:
• pain on motion
• abnormal limb position
• functio laesa (function disrupted)
 
Patients can not use the injured body part. How to cra diagnosis? Do not hold! start the inspection.
A broken leg will show an abnormal position (dislocation). After a few moments will arise swelling (= tumor) because the blood gather around a fracture network. The next step is rubbing and gather around the fracture network. The next step is to touch and feel the leg pain (= palpation). Mild pressure on the fracture area will cause pain. These symptoms are not specific.
This will be found as well when we felt a bee sting. Pressure along the bone as more specific.
Before the time of radiography, abnormal movements should be accompanied krepitasi found. Since the X-ray images, this painful procedure is not needed anymore. The combination of symptoms - symptoms that remain as we found in the fracture called a syndrome.

Heat Trauma
Network can be caused by direct burning or freezing temperatures are too cold. Can also gradually throughout the body have excessive heat or cold temperatures that are too low.

Chemical Trauma
Can happen by eating poison such as yellow phosphorus contained in the match made in ancient APAI, or eating poisonous mushrooms. In both of these liver cells will be damaged together (= necrosis) and will cause death. Actually there are many poisons that each has a specific effect. Do not forget that almost all drugs can cause chemical trauma as a side effect.

Electrical Trauma
Volt shock of 220 volts can damage the heart and brain and often cause lethal trauma.

Radiation Trauma
Trauma and the trauma of radiation rain radioactive dust from the explosion of the atomic bomb is very dangerous. Sunlight can cause injury (sunburn).

Biology Trauma
Can be caused by bacteria, viruses, repair of malaria, snake bites, and so on.

Emotional Trauma
Emotional trauma caused by his own fellow human beings.
